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
