        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.},
