A Six Sigma quality approach to workplace evaluation
Abstract
This paper reviews post‐occupancy evaluation (POE) research methods and discusses how these methods can be deployed within the context of a Six Sigma quality framework. The paper outlines the importance of conducting POEs to support the creation and management of optimal spaces for office workers. The authors review a variety of existing POE approaches and discuss their approach to using POEs as part of an ongoing quality framework. The results of a pilot programme using their approach, and application of these POE and quality tools, are discussed in this paper.
