SIX sigma

C:Six Sigma is a methodology focused on process improvement and variation reduction to achieve high levels of quality and efficiency. It emphasizes data-driven decision-making and the use of statistical tools to identify and eliminate defects or errors in processes. Six Sigma projects aim to bring processes to a level where they produce no more than 3.4 defects per million opportunities, which corresponds to a very high level of quality. Given the need for aggressive improvements in cost and delivery by at least 30%, Six Sigma is a suitable choice because it provides a structured approach to drive significant improvements in process efficiency, reduce waste, and enhance overall performance. By targeting areas of inefficiency and waste, Six Sigma can help the firm achieve the desired level of improvement in both cost and delivery. Therefore, option C is the most appropriate choice in this scenario.

Business Process Reengineering involves the radical redesign of core business processes to achieve dramatic improvements in productivity, cycle times, and quality. It often entails a complete overhaul of processes, systems, and organizational structure, aiming for deep and radical change rather than incremental improvements.
