All key performance indicators of the organization need to produce their optimum results for the organization to be successful and be able to produce the desired result. Several organizations today take up six sigma projects to improve the contributing factors to the Organizational Goal or Organizational Y. The six sigma approach enunciates Y = f(X) i.e. instead of superficially attempting to improve Y or applying quick fixes to Y, we identify the contributing factors (or Xs) to them, statistically validate the relationship between Y & X, and work on improving Xs such that Y is permanently improved.
