  • Abstract:
  • The necessity for quality enhancement and exceptional performance in the highly competitive global market has led numerous organizations, including their senior management, project managers, and engineers, to adopt innovative methodologies such as pull scheduling and lean principles. This study focuses on Six Sigma, a structured, statistical methodology aimed at strategically organizing and implementing initiatives for process improvement to significantly reduce process variability and defects. To investigate the implementation of Six Sigma in construction projects, a structured questionnaire survey was conducted, generating data about the factors currently influencing its implementation. This research enriches existing literature on Six Sigma within the construction industry by pinpointing these influential factors. The practical significance of this study lies in its ability to help construction professionals identify critical areas for enhancing their Six Sigma practices. Data from the questionnaire survey were analyzed using the Relative Importance Index (RII) in Excel, enabling the ranking of factors that influence Six Sigma adoption. The objective of this research is to align the improvement needs identified within the construction industry with the anticipated outcomes delivered by Six Sigma methodology.
