ABSTRACT

Organizational change is defined as action, either planned or unplanned, that results in a modification of the processes, relationships, and fundamental characteristics of the organization from one state to another. This research has explored the change management at Con Edison, a subsidiary company of Consolidated Edison. The management of Con Edison has been facing some problems in the process of production. To cope up with this problem, this research has proposed the application of Six Sigma for Con Edison so that they cope up with their problems of production and increase their productivity. Furthermore, through research, we had discovered that employees had a few problems with the process of change. This research had suggested the use of Kotter's eight step change management model for managing change and managing employees. For the implementation of the Six Sigma model, this research had suggested the DMIAC model.
