in an attempt to improve aspects of their operations. One of the tools which has received less attention that others is that of Six Sigma. Six Sigma is a tool
that makes use of statistical analysis, which is then applied to practical application. For this reason there has been a lower level of attention in the business press than in
the mathematical and engineering press (Breyfogle et al, 2001). The methodology takes the use of statistics and applies them to analyse the business and on point where changes may be
made. In many ways this tool may be seen as similar to others used in TQM1 as it has the aim of providing good quality and reliable information against which
production decisions can be made. The implementation can be very effective as long as there is a realization of the critical success factors for implementing Six Sigma.
For any tool to be effective it is essential that all of those who will be affected within the organisation understand and support the change. There
are a large number of change models which have been developed to help management implement any change (Huczyniski and Buchanan, 2003). There are commonalities within all models which include
winning the employees over with communication convince them of why the change is necessary, the implementation of the change itself and then the retrenching of the change afterwards (Huczyniski and
Buchanan, 2003, Lewin, 1951). If we assume that an effective model of change has been utilised in the critical success factors for
the model itself may be further examined. For this we need to look more carefully at the model itself. The Six Sigma system is a tool that has the aim
