Project Manager: Michael Freeman

Justification of the Project

Amazon Company has been experiencing problems in its sales. Therefore, the Six Sigma project aims to solve this problem so that it can be competitive. Amazon has been dominating the online business until other companies entered the market. With the entry of new companies, there has been increased competition. Therefore, six sigma projects aim to solve these problems so that it can realize its profits again.

Product Scope

Amazon is one of the companies that have the largest retail online shopping. The company was established long before other companies such as e-bay came to existence. With the introduction of these new companies, Amazon Company is facing many problems. Therefore, they have to employ the sigma six project for them to determine where their problems are arising from so that they can deal with them. It noted that it is good for the company to have a positive advantage so that they can effectively look for ways to improve their products. Amazon should also employ strategies that will make their products to compete effectively with other products on the market. Hence the six sigma project is a good initiative that will help the company to identify their problems and solve them hence producing goods that will compete effectively on the market.

Acceptance Criteria

For this project to work the organization must accept that there are problems it is facing. Then after acceptance, the six sigma project will be implemented to identify the problems and solve them. For the changes to be effective both the organization and all its components should accept the change that will be brought about by the change. On the acceptance of the changes that are brought by the project, everyone will work to effect the change. Then the Amazon Company will be back to its track because of the efforts made by the six sigma project.

Lastly, the project does not take the older strategies that led to the decline of the sales into consideration, but it aims at solving the problems that occurred as a result of the old strategies.
