In petrochemicals company, what are the proposed six sigma projects?

[Vishwadeep Khatri]

Dear Mohamed,

Essar and Oil India Limited are also our clients. Now referring to your question of proposed Six Sigma projects, all such business or client pain area can be converted into a Six Sigma project where root cause is unknown or unverified and the solution (obviously) is also unknown. List of such projects are large and shall vary from company to company based on process maturity and type of projects handled.

Dear Abhay,

I think integrating IMS - ISO 9001 +EMS/ISO 14001 + OHSAS 18001 requirements with Six Sigma Tools offers Excellent Opportunity for Improvement.

You need to identify specific pain areas and train few Green belts as IMS Auditors.

This is my Dream Project and you may call me on 9322803966. Thanks.
