Six Sigma Blog: Statement Makes Mission Possible

Statement Makes Mission Possible

A mission statement is critical to the success of a Six Sigma project. The mission of the project should fall under the umbrella of the organization’s mission, which is why a mission statement has to:

• Be defined in precise terms
• Be clear and unambiguous
• Outline the criticality of each problem
• Outline how the success of the project at hand will bring about a positive change in the organization
• Define clear-cut, non-overlapping missions for each team
• Focus on the root cause of each problem
• Define expect outcome of the project in precise terms
• Verify that the project at hand will be around for some time, without being subject to changes in the near future
