Q. ISO and Six Sigma - where is the connection? Why do we need both? Can we live without one or the other? Should they both remain as they serve different purposes? Should one yield to the other and integrate before dissolving? What are your thoughts?
A. ISO helps you to define a process and follow it consistently and not just a documented activity where as six sigma helps you to improve the existing process…
A. ISO defines the process.. Six Sigma improves the process. Six Sigma is a method of continuous improvement - of improving existing processes.

Why do we quality professionals have to spend so much time defending ISO 9000? There’s got to be a short answer to that question. Love it or hate it we have to admit it does take some defending. In fact strike that last comment. Nobody actually loves it. It has features only a mother could love.
This standard has existed in various formats for a couple of decades now, and the process for drafting, approving and issuing are long and deliberate, but at the tail end of it all you have to ask the question “was that honestly the best you could come up with?” If there is so much good business practice woven in to the clauses, is it too much to ask that this time it doesn’t take a psychic and a team of sniffer dogs to locate it?
Quite.
