1. Case study
Six sigma best practices are designed to help companies reduce the number
of defects in business processes. Here is one example of how six sigma was
successfully used in a business.
3M strives to prevent pollution in its organization by implementing Six Sigma best
practices. With the help of Six Sigma, the company became a leader in corporate
pollution prevention. 3M believes in preventing pollution through proactive measures
and addressing the pollution at the source rather than being reactive and addressing
the issue once it has already entered the environment. In 31 years, the company
has prevented 2.6 million pounds of pollutants from entering the environment and
also saved over billion.
To achieve Six Sigma standards, 3M enrolled over 55,000 employees in Six Sigma
training. These 55,000 earned Six Sigma certification and Six Sigma black belt
status, Six Sigma green belt status or Six Sigma yellow belt status. With the help
of trained professionals, over 45,000 Lean Six Sigma projects were completed.
In 2007, the company trained two Six Sigma black belts and a master black belt.
The black belts provided coaching to the organization. All of the team members
were required to have at least a Lean Six Sigma green belt. Two weeks of training
was required to become a Six Sigma green belt.
3M's Six Sigma projects focus on reducing waste, air emissions, greenhouse gas
emissions and energy use. By 2006, over 70 percent of the 3P projects in the
organization were operating according to Six Sigma methods. The results were
favorable.

The company used Six Sigma to reduce volatile air emissions. 3M's goal was 25
percent reduction in volatile air emissions. The company achieved 61 percent
reduction. 3M also strove to reduce the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
Toxic Release Inventory (TRI). The goal was 50 percent reduction, but the company
achieved 64 percent reduction. Improving energy efficiency was also of importance
to 3M. A goal of 20 percent reduction was set, and 27 percent was achieved. In
general, the company tried to double the number of Pollution Prevention Pays
Projects from 194 to 400. Instead, the company reached 1262 projects, which is
more than double the goal.
3M proved that Six Sigma best practices can save companies money. If the processes
are implemented appropriately, companies become more efficient, productive and
profitable.
