What models are used to implement Six Sigma?
There are two basic models for implementing Six Sigma.
1.Based on teaching of Six Sigma - in this model little attention, if any, is given to building an organizational infrastructure that support Six Sigma. Instead, emphasis is typically given to the mechanics of tools execution, as opposed to when and how a tool should be implemented and integrated with other tools.
2.Project based - the tools are taught and then applied to projects that are defined before sessions begin. In this model, Six Sigma infrastructure issues need to be addressed; however, this effort is sometimes not given the emphasis it deserves. Organizations can achieve more significantly bottom-line benefit with this approach.

Quality Performance to the standard expected by the customer.

What is a customer satisfaction?
customer, n[O Fr. coustumier, L.L. custumarius, custom.]
1. A person who buys, especially one who buys regularly.
2. A person with whom one has to deal.
satisfaction, n[O Fr., from L. satisfaction (-onis), from satisfactus, pp. of satisfacere, to satisfy.]
