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.

Topics covered include

  • Healthcare quality
  • Six Sigma for new product/service development processes
  • Six Sigma and lean thinking
  • Best practice of Six Sigma
  • Quality improvement initiatives in manufacturing, service, and transactional processes
  • Analytics
  • Big data
  • Monitoring and detection

Objectives

The primary goal of IJSSCA is to present state-of-the-art, high quality research developments in all areas of Six Sigma. The Editorial Board is committed to a swift evaluation process from submission to initial decision, and the latest developments and advances will be published without delay

Readership
