Six Sigma is one of the last additions in the field of quality improvement methods
and (or) business process improvements methods. Although it has been implemented
for many years mainly in large manufacturing companies, like Motorola, GE
and Honeywell, it does not have the appropriate response popularity in service
industries and even less in countries outside the USA. Europe for example has given
more emphasis to the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) family
standards.
