| | Six Sigma and Total Information Quality Management |
 | | As a quality system, Six Sigma is a methodology of quality management and process improvement, originally developed by Motorola, using sigma-based process measures with a goal to achieve Six Sigma-level quality. |  | | DMAIC is actually a repackaging of several quality management processes, including quality assessment (measurement), nonquality cost measurement and process improvement based on customer requirements as the cycle for improvement. |  | | It is the cost incurred by not having created data with quality at the point of origin and by not having processes in place that control and maintain the quality when it decays as the result of real-world objects changing their characteristics such as people moving, changing marital status or product price changes. |

| | Quality Management |
 | | In the early 1980s, when companies began changing from inspection-oriented to more modern quality management methods, many organizations decided that massive work force training in statistical quality control was the correct first step. |  | | At middle management and supervisory levels, department budgets, work schedules, cycle times, major projects and departmental work plans should be controlled, even though many of these recently have become candidates for self control or self-directing work teams. |  | | Or should we spend our time changing the level and then implementing the control system? |

 | | In a Total Quality Management system, these "interchangeable members" are created through cross-functional training and the ostensible decentralization of authority. |  | | Total Quality Management is a set of techniques and procedures used to reduce or eliminate variation from a production process or service delivery system in order to improve efficiency, reliability and quality. |  | | The goal is to turn the organization into a "total" quality system/machine, in which the individual worker is simply one more production component or "human resource" (see Calas & Smircich, 1991 for a recent organizational treatment of this issue). |
