| contents | <p><span>The Six Sigma (SS) methodology is currently one of the most popular techniques in the field of quality management because it improves process output quality by locating and eliminating the root causes of errors and variability in both manufacturing and commercial processes. As a result, the body of literature on the subject of SS has grown exponentially over the past few decades; the large body of works in the field offers a good opportunity for a structured review of the articles to comprehend the development of the idea, the areas in which it is used, and potential future directions for research. The primary SS approaches created for both large and small businesses have been chronologically reviewed in the literature review to Highlight specific SS literature facets and a few SS methodology applications. A Strengths-Weaknesses criterion is used to evaluate the papers that can be found in the literature. Additionally, an evaluation based on compliance with some milestones identified as essential for every SS system has been carried out for those treating the application of the SS methodology into both large companies and Small & Medium Enterprises (SMEs). The paper concludes by discussing potential future developments in the research field.</span></p> |
