===== 📌 Human-Centered vs. Six Sigma =====

Six Sigma:
* Focuses on variation and statistical control.
* Often requires specialists (Black Belts), heavy data analysis, and formal projects.

Human-Centered:
* Focuses on people on the ground and solutions aligned with their work context.
* Tools are simpler and judgment-driven rather than statistically intensive. nraoiekc.blogspot.com<ref>{{cite web|title=nraoiekc.blogspot.com|url=https://nraoiekc.blogspot.com/2013/|publisher=nraoiekc.blogspot.com|access-date=2025-12-27}}</ref>

Example: In manufacturing, instead of launching a Six Sigma project with DOE (design of experiments) and regression analysis to fix downtime, a human-centered approach might start with operators tracking first-occurrence conditions of downtime and testing small changes in sequence or setup to eliminate triggers.
