Assignment: SIX SIGMA

THIS IS 2 SEPERATE ASSIGNMENTS. PLEASE DO NOT COMBINE THEM. I DO NOT HAVE THE READING MATERIAL OR BOOK FOR THESE ASSIGNMENTS. PLEASE ONLY APPLY IF YOU HAVE ACCESS TO THE BOOK.

1. Identify one of the goals of Six Sigma shown in Table 13-1 of the text and provide an example of a project you have been involved with where the method could have helped the project outcome. Comment if your organization uses Six Sigma and, if so, the influence it has had on the results of projects and the overall business.

2. Review the Fleming and Koppelman article from your assigned readings. Evaluate two of the ten EVM requirements and analyze how a project you have worked on in the past could have been more effective by using the measures. Provide detailed information if your organization consistently uses EVM and the benefits that have resulted.
