SIX SIGMA and CMMI APPLICATIONS and SYNERGY

Abstract

This document focuses on two popular improvement platforms: CMMI and Six Sigma. As CMMI has become more widely institutionalized and Six Sigma has made its way into engineering disciplines, numerous questions, answers and analyzes have arisen. This topic is given answer the above few questions, which relate to implementing CMMI along with Six Sigma. A brief summary of CMMI fundamentals and an overview of what Six Sigma is and what it is not, are included here. The paper also explores the relationships between CMMI and Six Sigma and how they integrate together.
