FAQ
How much does it cost to implement the six sigma
strategy?
As we saw the GE story, it is not a question of
how much it costs, but how much you will gain by
using the strategy.
GE made 2000 millions in the first 2 years /
spent 100 million in first year.
A black belt is expected to return 1 million a
year to the organization, he is typically paid
100 k a year.
One can safely say,
one can get back 10, while spending 1.

FAQ….
When can I start?
You can start now!
Nobody is going to stop you.
Earlier you start, earlier you gain!
Many decision makers say, they will start next
year / they will start after present lean
initiative is over, some say we are doing TPM
now… They are losing on the gains of six
sigma!!!
Six sigma is not exclusive in any sense.
It is inclusive of all other initiatives.

Six Sigma Strategy for Business Excellence
FAQ… ….
We have 5 certified black belts,
but we have not gained much so far?
Having certified black belts is not the end in
itself.
Unless the CEO is seized of the needs of the
organisation and urgency to solve the critical
problems faced, things will not happen.
Black belts sitting in the corporate offices do
not help, they must have the right problems to
attack, they must be on the gemba - get their
hands dirty as they say, and they will deliver
results.
Focus on the process, not on the means.
