Most people enjoy the benefits of Six Sigma when using pagers, cars, cell phones, and printers and never even realize it.

Today, the world class corporations that implemented Six Sigma for manufacturing processes are implementing Six Sigma in the non-manufacturing environment on soft processes such as IT management, HR, Finance, sales, and service.

• Soft processes initiate manufacturing and distribute the products of manufacturing
