After implementation of 6? the realization of improvement was done by using DMAIC model, where the process was recorded according to SIPOC model. PARETO method helped to identify the influence of problematic causes and ISHIKAWA model was used in identification of sample root Banks made the first significant step towards 6? with the implementation of ISO 9000:2000 standards.
