How does the Six Sigma methodology compare with quality improvement programs?

What will be an ideal response?

The most significant difference is Six Sigma's focus on the financial aspects of improvements. Improvement efforts must contribute to the organization's financial success. For other similarities and differences. Continuous improvement quality efforts define key processes, determines the owners of these processes, measures existing process performance, determines the gap between desired process performance and existing process performance, creates performance measures which will be used to determine if the improvements made to the process are working, uses quality improvement techniques to improve the process, reviews the process to see if the improvements are working. This is very similar to Six Sigma efforts.
