Mission
The Six Sigma Aerospace
& Defense Benchmarking Association (6SADBA™) is an association
of aerospace and defense 6 sigma professionals within major
corporations
or governmental agencies dedicated to providing members with
an opportunity to identify, document and establish best practices
through benchmarking to increase value, efficiencies, and profits.
Benchmarking
Benchmarking
is a performance measurement tool used in conjunction with improvement
initiatives; it measures comparative operating performance of
companies and identifies the "best practices."
Benchmarking
creates value by
- Focusing
on key performance gaps;
- Identifying
ideas from other companies;
- Creating
a consensus to move an organization forward;
- Making
better decisions from a larger base of facts.
