| Tiivistelmä: | As popularly used in industry, achieving a Six Sigma level of quality means limiting defective performance to 34 per million opportunities, which would be nearly defect-free "Elimination of defects" has interesting implications for research and development, because R&D exists to create processes and products R&D activities involve inquiry, analysis, synthesis, and other activities that naturally reshape and change as they proceed-and so naturally defy systematic improvement efforts. However, early results in some companies indicate that achieving Six Sigma performance in R&D is worth consideration. This article reports the key points that emerged during the discussion and outlines some questions for further study. |
