Cognos Solutions Six Sigma / Quality

Success depends on having the right data at the right time in a format that's easy to understand. It requires the ability to break down barriers, share insights with others and make decisions with confidence. Cognos does that using its Six Sigma capabilities to:

• Define: Identify processes and practices that need improvement based on "cost of poor quality" and other factors.
• Measure: Consolidate data sources to understand performance.
• Analyze: Identify cause(s) and their impact on overall quality.
• Improve: Communicate findings to the organization and stakeholders
• Control: Monitor new or improved processes to ensure marginal performance is identified, communicated, and acted upon
