Lean 6 Sigma

6 SIGMA IN BORUSAN GROUP

6 Sigma is a modern business methodology applied by the world’s corporate giants that aims to reduce errors in business and production to zero, and continuously increase efficiency, profitability and customer satisfaction.    
The Borusan Group has been applying this methodology since 2002.    
A key component of Borusan’s strategic management methodology, 6 Sigma methodology has increased the financial growth and profitability of the Borusan Group companies and brought about a cultural transformation within them.

6 Sigma studies are conducted by Black Belts who are full-time employees, specialised in this methodology and who oversee projects and provide training as well as by Expert Green Belts who take part in the projects part-time and by Borusan employees at every level. There are essentially two types of project in the 6 Sigma methodology. DMAIC project cover existing projects or process improvements. DMEDI projects involve the development of new products and services.
