Testimonials

Other testimonials include Ford Motor Company who stated in 2004 that it had saved $2 billion since the start of its Six Sigma effort in 2000. 3M’s Larry Thomason said “the Six Sigma initiative has brought a systematic, root-cause analysis to problem solving, with a common language our people use on a global scale.” And, executives at Xerox claimed, “We knew we could be a very good company, but with Six Sigma we thought we could be outstanding – we could truly go from good to great.”

Additionally, Six Sigma can be applied to non-manufacturing or service sectors. In 2004, Duke University Hospital launched a Six Sigma program, which has already made significant improvements in a number of areas. Furthermore, former Speaker of the House, Newt Gingrich said, “The CIA has to seriously consider the use of Six Sigma because of the nation’s inefficient counterterrorism.”

These testimonials make it clear that companies who use the Six Sigma methodology achieve significant cost reductions and gain a competitive advantage in the marketplace.
