Six Sigma vs. Total Quality Management

Six Sigma is a relatively new concept as compared to Total Quality Management (TQM). However, when it was conceptualized, it was not intended to be a replacement for TQM. Both Six Sigma and TQM have many similarities and are compatible in varied business environments, including manufacturing and service industries. While TQM has helped many companies in improving the quality of manufactured goods or services rendered, Six Sigma has the potential of delivering even sharper results.

Article of the Month

Smith & Nephew boosts BIRMINGHAM HIP Resurfacing Quality Management with PROQUIS

Smith & Nephew's BIRMINGHAM HIP Resurfacing (BHR) product is a world leader in innovative orthopaedic treatment. The BHR provides an alternative to total hip replacement for patients suffering from abnormalities of the hip, including osteoarthritis, and has found critical acclaim worldwide. The BHR product is approved by the FDA for use in the Unites States of America and is recognized as the leading hip resurfacing product globally. With a forecasted 100 per cent year-on-year growth, S&N UK needed to revise its legacy Quality Management System (QMS) to cope with its success. Following a review of available QMS products, S&N UK chose an automated solution from Proquis that has delivered a return on investment in 12 months.
