According to Wikipedia who originally developed Six Sigma?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Six Sigma was created by Motorola, USA in 1986. The head designer was Motorola Vice President and Senior Quality Assurance Manager, Bill Smith. He designed the process over a series of years based on different studies of the works of Walter A. Shewhart @ Bell Telephone and Kaoru Ishikawa.

After trying to convince upper management to impliment his new process for a while, Motorola began using the Six Sigma method. Through this method the manufacturing industry would redefine itself by being able to finally quantify results rather than measuring results "hypothetically."

In 1988 Motorola earned the coveted Malcolm Balridge National Quality Award. This honor would not be won by Motorola again until 2002.

How is WikiAnswers different from Wikipedia?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Definitely! ;-) Amazon.com's Askville is another great new question and answer website. They did a very good job on it. Askville, Yahoo Answers, MSN Live, and many of the other new Q&A sites are essentially what FAQ Farm was in 2002. They're Q&A bulletin boards. (Albiet, much more professional, well-financed versions.) On other sites, the same questions get asked over and over again. People post individual answers and those answers can never be improved upon. It's one-on-one, isolated communication. The important aspect of people helping each other by asking and answering questions is there with all the sites. FAQ Farm also goes a step further. Our community is actually growing FAQs. We're creating permanent Q&A resources for the world to use, as opposed to just offering a forum for Q&A.

Is this site with Wikipedia?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No, it isn't the same. The two sites have nothing to do with each other, actually, other than both using the word "Wiki." That indicates that we are based on user content, not that we are part of Wikipedia.
