Six Sigma

The driving factors for a success or failure of implementing Six Sigma is largely dependent on the inputs set forth at the conception and duration of the integration.

Grace, Royal Chemicals, Diversified Paper and Lemforder. Some of these organizations had very successful results while others failed to reach their full potential. What is clear is the similarities of those that succeed and those that failed.

I had the privilege of having Patrick as teacher and coach/coordinator for my Six Sigma Green Belt project.

The ability to provide patient’s health care services that supersede their anticipated outcome is quality care. By delivering care that communicates effectively and is delivered in a competent manner the focus is on providing care that is rooted in strong evidence-based clinical research.

Competitive advantage is important in any company’s market structure. A good example of competitive advantage is when a customer asks why he or she should purchase this product over the company’s competitor’s product (Lambardo, 2017). For a company to obtain a substantial competitive advantage, a company has to gain a customer base that trusts their products over their competition’s product. For example, in the beer industry, Anheuser- Busch has created beer products that obtain a strong competitive advantage over their competitors. Budweiser was able to create this competitive advantage because they obtained a strong market structure. Also, there is a huge relation between company brand and competitive advantage (Abbas & Kraidy, 2017). For New Belgium brewing company, the brand and social responsibility are they key competitive advantages.
