The variation of the issues and barriers an organization may be faced with require the use of different methodologies. It is not a long time since this approach has been applied in Iran and its achievements has led to business prosperity.

The results show that, on average, the financial benefit of Six Sigma projects in Iran is about 1,705,000,000 Rial per annum. This investigation also finds that the sigma level has developed as much as one sigma after applying this methodology, resulting in a considerable decrease in the number of product defects.
