Six Sigma
	The Manitowoc Company has adopted Six Sigma as the primary system of business process improvement. Six Sigma is a disciplined methodology focused on product and service excellence. It's a strategy designed to dramatically upgrade our company's performance on critical business metrics. Six Sigma requires the use of data and facts in decision-making. At its foundation, Six Sigma is a systematic statistical method that breaks down customer requirements (processes and products) into process steps, identifies the root causes of problems, reduces the number of defects, improves and controls the process to sustain improvements.
