Cotecna offers strategic process performance improvement with tangible bottom line impact, using 6 Sigma programmes and services.

6 Sigma is a well-known methodology and set of techniques used to improve business processes. Ultimately, 6 Sigma can improve the bottom line of a company by monitoring business activities to minimise waste and resources, whilst understanding and meeting client needs.

6 Sigma is about changing attitudes – being able to really understand client needs and internal processes - and enhancing discipline – through fact-based analysis and decisions, leading to continuous improvement.

The key idea behind 6 Sigma is that if you can measure a process, you can systematically work out how to get as close as possible to the highest levels of customer expectation and satisfaction.

• 6 Sigma projects are selected based on their alignment with the company and/or business strategy;
• problems are detected, corrected, and process improvements are controlled to sustain over time;
• dedicated resources are specifically trained to drive projects and deliver bottom-line results.
