Six Sigma techniques and methodologies are quite different from other quality improvement techniques because they are not self-sustaining in nature. Goals and objectives that can be derived through Six Sigma depend on a number of variable factors and inputs such as the quality of deployment and the existing organizational culture.

The Process

The Six Sigma audit process is similar to the assessment process employed during the deployment stage because only qualitative checks are conducted during the audit. The audit process involves the use of questionnaires and checklists that allow auditors to assess the existing status of business processes, which is then compared with predetermined standards or desired results. The standards are very specific and are clearly defined at the commencement of the deployment phase.
