Abstract
Purpose: To evaluate a medical service provider organization, operating under variable conditions, using operating curves based on Six Sigma metrics.
Design/methodology/approach: Basic research that developed a rational quantitative approach supported by mathematics and statistical quality control, where the performance of the system's quality was evaluated, supported by a sensitivity analysis with the creation of dynamic tables and operation curves of the six sigma metrics.
Findings: A method for evaluating the quality of a medical service and its processes is proposed, which allows determining the performance of quality Z under variable conditions using the proposed operation curves.
Originality/value: As a contribution and originality of this research, a comprehensive control system is proposed. A statistical study was evaluated using six sigma metric operating curves for a medical service.
期刊介绍：
■Successful quality/continuous improvement projects ■The use of quality tools and models in leadership management development such as the EFQM Excellence Model, Balanced Scorecard, Quality Standards, Managed Care ■Issues relating to process control such as Six Sigma, Leadership, Managing Change and Process Mapping ■Improving patient care through quality related programmes and/or research Articles that use quantitative and qualitative methods are encouraged.
