A detailed article published on QualityAmerica.com analyses the beginning of the Six Sigma implementation in the mid-1980s by Motorola in an effort to improve quality and cut costs, and the performance improvement model of Six Sigma known as DMAIC or Define-Measure-Analyze-Improve-Control.

The article also examines the powerful Six Sigma feature of creating an infrastructure to ascertain that all the required resources (leadership, champions and sponsors, black belts, and green belts) are present to improve performance, the level of staff employed, and finally the implementation of the Six Sigma principles.
