Abstract

Academic literature on six sigma quality improvement approach, the first applications of which were observed in the mid-1980s in manufacturing industry, is examined in this study. All journal articles covered by Science Citation Index are searched with the keyword “six sigma” without any time restriction, and full-texts of almost all the articles found were analyzed in detail. The trends, current situation and historical developments in the literature are shown, and the overall standing of the studies in the academic literature about six sigma is discussed. It is concluded that there is no consensus over the definition and the applications of six sigma. Nevertheless, it is expected that six sigma will maintain its importance in the forthcoming years.

Özet

Bu çalışmada ilk uygulamaları 1980’lerin ortalarında imalat sanayinde görülen altı sigma kalite iyileştirme yaklaşımına dair akademik literatür incelenmiştir. Fen Bilimleri Atıf Endeksi kapsamındaki akademik dergi makaleleri tarih sınırlaması olmaksızın “altı sigma” anahtar sözcükleri ile taranmış ve elde edilen sonuç kümesindeki makalelerin tamamına yakını tam metin olarak detaylı bir şekilde incelenmiştir. Bu sayede literatürdeki eğilimler, mevcut durum ve tarihsel gelişimler ortaya konmaya çalışılmış ve altı sigma adına akademik literatürde yer alan çalışmaların genel durumu tartışılmıştır. Yapılan literatür çalışmasında altı sigma tanımı ve uygulamaları üzerinde ortak bir görüş şekillenmemiş olduğu, ancak altı sigmanın önemini gelecekte de koruyacağı sonucuna varılmıştır.
