Abstract

Continuous improvement plays a huge role in managing processes and developing best practices. It covers a wide range of methods and is practiced by companies all over the world, both in manufacturing and service sectors. The two types or methodologies that will be examined here are Six Sigma and, perhaps the less well known, Performance Solutions by Milliken. Especially in today’s environment of thin profit margins on end products and physical assets, traditional manufacturers have evolved into service organizations and must remain competitive. This paper focuses on these methodologies, and on the dual use of them, by a world-class manufacturer
