  "The Six Sigma Contact Center, Part 1"    Six Sigma is not just for manufacturing. Service organizations including financial, telecom, and healthcare have discovered that Six Sigma brings a process focus to their operations (e.g., improved customer service processes, improved customer-problem resolution, and improved internal support processes).
