in order to cut company’s manufacturing expenses.

My Decision
The primary purpose of the power plant is to set quality standards that assure a lower incidence of errors, hence
lowering the company’s production costs. I urge that Lexus Power Plant use the Six Sigma technique, according
to management 9 Operations management. Six sigma is a quality benchmark that reduces mistakes by 3.4 percent
per million items. This equates to a 99.9 percent perfection rate, demonstrating the Lexus power plant was
necessary to set quality standards and remove defects. Six sigma is a typical quality benchmark for many, if not
all, key competitors in today’s competitive global economy.
