Part one: The Motorola Story

Quality through Systems looks at Motorola, a Malcolm Baldrige Award Winner. Motorola’s most ambitious renewal strategy to date: total customer satisfaction through improved quality. The company’s five-year goal, Six Sigma, translates into reduced cycle time and near-zero defect quality - 99.9998% perfection. You will see how Motorola is meeting the challenge of Six Sigma through an innovative mix of company-wide internal measurement systems, customer and supplier input, training and quality leadership.
