Six Sigma Plus is an overall strategy to accelerate improvements in all
processes, products and services, and reduce the punitive cost of poor quality
through elimination of waste and reduction of defects and variations.
One of the ultimate aims documented in the Six Sigma Plus strategy is Providing
maximum value to customers by applying a logical and structured approach to all
business processes.
Six Sigma is a highly respected measure of excellence. Honeywell's own
interpretation, Six Sigma Plus, is employed across all businesses and brands to
drive growth and productivity.
The standard operates by providing a measurement of how effective the
organization is in eliminating defects and variations from processes. To meet
its requirements, a process must operate at 3.4 defects or less per million
opportunities. This equates to 99.9997% error free.
Conscientious application of the Six Sigma methodology to all business
processes delivers greater value to customers and makes Honeywell a more
desirable business partner.
