The program for employee and subcontractor development aimed at developing the capacity of employees and subcontractors to face the requirements of working within a multinational corporation. They must comply with and apply all quality, work safety and environmental standards.

Six Sigma is one of the programs set forth by the Autostrada Transilvania Project in order to improve work processes to optimize effectiveness and quality. Six Sigma is a method that places and emphasis on managing work process variations in order to optimize safety, planning, cost and quality.

Six Sigma was uniquely designed to minimize variation. All processes are subject to variation, which sometimes makes it planning difficult. Stable processes with reduced variation generate predictable results and as such one may estimate whether client requirements are adequately met. Control of variation leads to better control over defaults and consequently to reductions in cost, thereby increasing the quality of the product for the client. This way, clients will receive a higher quality product, rather than a product of average quality, as they are more often than not used to receiving. 

Six Sigma also envisages employees with various precise roles, depending on their responsibilities/performance, called “yellow belts”, “green belts”, “black belts”, and “master black belts”, who lead process optimization teams on various complexity levels. Local personnel is periodically trained by foreign specialists in the field.

Considering the scope and importance of the Autostrada Transilvania Project, Bechtel has also been successfully implementing this program in Romania; this is the most effective work performance system in the world for planning and management of operations such as excavation, personnel transportation, power consumption, as well as foundation and asphalt laying works.
