  • Success factors for Six sigma implementation in Slovenian manufacturing companies
    Gošnik, Dušan ; Vujica-Herzog, Nataša
    This paper presents results of a survey research carried out in 100 Slovenian manufacturing companies. Since this is the first published study about the state of the art of Six sigma methodology and ... its implementation in Slovenian manufacturing companies it is of a special value. The results show that for many Slovenian manufacturing companies the biggest challenge for the future is managing quality of products and simultaneously fulfil individual customer needs. Most of the companies are not aware of great benefits that can be obtained using Six sigma methodology and many of them do not relate it to customer satisfaction. On the other hand, some respondents expressed that they do not have enough resources to implement Six sigma within the company. It was also found that the management in manufacturing companies was often satisfied with the current quality system in the organisation, which can be related to the fact that companies do not always understand the relation between customer satisfaction, processes management, the costs and possible savings. Management involvement and participation, employee education, organisational and cultural aspect supported by understanding of Six sigma can be exposed as the most critical factors for the successful implementation of Six sigma in Slovenian manufacturing companies.
