Six Sigma CSFs: a literature review CSFs are those factors which are critical to the success of any organization, in the sense that, if objectives associated with the factors are not achieved, the organization will fail, perhaps catastrophically so (Rockart, 1979). Every organization’s creation of a Six Sigma infrastructure is unique, however, there are factors common to every success story (Breyfogle et al., 2001). Yang et al. (2008) in an empirical study in Taiwan concluded that Six Sigma is a fashionable method of management, but if organizations want to obtain dramatic benefits from the implementation, they must enhance the implementation of the CSFs and utilize more advanced tools. Hence, it is necessary that an attempt be made to assimilate the CSFs through a literature study. Six Sigma is implemented in organizations through the structured define measure analyze improve control (DMAIC) project approach. As Six Sigma is a project-driven methodology, it is essential to prioritize projects, which provide maximum financial benefits to the organization (Anthony and Banuelas, 2002). Importance of the project selection process as a CSF has been researched by many authors like Kelly (2002), Anthony and Banuelas (2002), Snee and Rodenbaugh (2002), Park (2003), Ponce and Zahaf (2004), Anbari and Kwak (2004), Heuvel et al.

Recently, in a study conducted by Professor Kowalski many workers had complained that the offices are not going smoothly. The office to them are more than an office, it’s a complaint department. The problem is that office management isn’t going how it’s supposed to. People are not trying as much as they should. The skills they learned are not on-going. The solution in this situation is to keep practicing the skills you learned and continue learning more skills. Every job requires you to know several skills.
