Six Sigma is a statistics-based, process-focused, data-driven strategy and methodology, coupled with management concepts and lean tools, that aims to improve the quality of process outputs. Six Sigma seeks to identify the causes of failures and minimize variability in key industrial processes in areas, such as healthcare, manufacturing, and service.
IJSSCA aims to publish original research that strengthens the current theoretical base and suggests potential for the advancement of industrial practice. Although IJSSCA welcomes contributions in a broad spectrum of fields, the journal is particularly interested in emerging methodologies and techniques in quantitative expressions of the theoretical and practical engineering, management, and science disciplines. Manuscript submissions with minor contributions to the current knowledge base in relevant literature are discouraged.
