Abstract

Although Six Sigma programs have delivered billions of dollars of profit to large enterprises, little has been done for small and medium-sized enterprises(SMEs). The original Six Sigma architects did not design their delivery systems for businesses of that size. Hence this chapter provides a preliminary report on the practical constraints experienced by a group of SMEs, followed by some suggestions for Six Sigma training consultants and providers, and finally a practical Six Sigma Deployment Plan has been proposed for SMEs in Hong Kong.
