Abstract: While Six Sigma concepts and tools have established proven practices and have demonstrated their worth within industry, the variation and style in which the Six Sigma projects are formulated and executed leaves much opportunity for continued development. The purpose of this paper is to propose a practical framework for integrating conventional project management process groups, as established by the Project Management Institute and Six Sigma DMAIC methodologies. The goal of the proposed framework is to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness with which Six Sigma projects are initiated, planned, executed and closed. The expected results of the paper will introduce and elaborate on the new model for the integration and application of Six Sigma and project management methods. This paper will conclude with recommendations of the future work needed to validate the model.
