Objective Motorola management will understand their true needs of Information Technology. With advantages in terms of technology, they realize that they can make Motorola as a leader in the mobile phone world. The first product is a car radio made in 1930, and the researchers they began to do research that gave birth to the product named the handie-talkie that is designed specifically for members of the U.S. military. With technology advancing so rapidly that Motorola was dedicated to making the communication can be done anytime and anywhere. Car radio telephone company provides an opportunity for Motorola to help people communicate with each other. Beginning in 1946, when the radio telephone services are run in the United States, the company produces the car radio telephone that supports two-way radio communication. Due to the limited number of frequencies existence, then this car telephone can only be done occasionally and finally the use of these communication tools also raises several other issues such as the caller waits for a response too long. Plus the radio path can not be used again in the area due to interference from high-powered radio station. As the rapid development that occurs at Motorola, then even more incentive to do research to be able to realize a seamless communication. At the time of the study, the experts realized that the potential of information technology to promote the progress of the communication system. The company also has a very big idea that communication can evolve not only by making a cordless phone, but also to redesign systems and infrastructure to support it. Motorola Teams also have to prove to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) that the system can be combined with mobile phone. But they do not have much time enough. Making the first cordless phone in the world is a very big challenge. No one had ever imagined let alone seen it, so there is not anything that can be used as a reference or comparison. One of the officials named in Motorola's Martin Cooper calling the directors of the company are Rudy Krolopp design and all his team for designing the shape of the mobile phone tersebut.Dalam 6 weeks time 3-dimensional model of the mobile phone should have been made and the prototype will be used at the meeting to present the FCC. The idea was obtained at the time of disebuah dinner restaurant. Krolopp says "We called it a shoe phone, Because It sort of looked a little bit like a boot". The team also worked hard to make that idea into a prototype. And in February 1973 the Motorola DynaTAC has finished producing (Dynamic Adaptive Total Area Coverage), which is the prototype of a portable telephone. But the challenge for Motorola does not stop here, they have to design a large commercial area of ​​the system so that their products can be used.
DynaTAC cellular system should allow its use can be done even if the user moves - moving place. To realize it needed an innovative technicians. Plus Motorola should make a large-capacity system that can be used by a mobile phone and a portable car phone. The technicians also work systematically to be able to make their products can be used with either. And on 21 September 1983, Motorola made history when the FCC approved the DynaTAC 8000X phone as the first mobile phone in the world. After nearly 10 years and less investment of U.S. $ 100 million, Motorola's commitment to developing innovative mobile technologies and a revolution for communications and information technology industry is also changing the way of life for all humans in this world. Pressing expenses of $ 3 billion within 3 years
Background Since Motorola was founded in 1928, Motorola has established itself with the image as an innovative company. Motorola is one company that integrates technology roadmaps, six sigma quality, and cycle-time reduction of 10x in the manufacturing process. But in 2000, when the purchasing power of the technology decreases, motorola only get revenue of $ 27miliar without the slightest benefit to the company. Seeing these conditions, management of Motorola made the decision very saulit is closing some factories, lay off a number of employees, and sell some units bisinisnya. Motorola further focus its strategy towards e-business to remind returning corporate profits. Then came the concept of the so-called Digital Six Sigma, encompasses some new things such as web-based training tools, modeling and simulation tools, digitized process compliance, and quality-measurement tools. To run this new concept at the same time lead, Chris Galvin, CEO of Motorola in 2002, bringing Mike Fenger, who has led the application of Six Sigma and e-business strategy at General Electric's Lighting Division. Fenger main objective is to reduce costs by $ 3 billion over three years.

 
Challenge 

Working with a decentralized environment, Motorola always give the team leadership in every sector of freedom on how they carry out their respective duties. However, Digital Six Sigma success is determined by how each sector collaborate well, and the historical autonomy of each sector at Motorola make this a challenge that must be resolved first.
"This is part of our efforts to see not only how our products will be accepted by the market, but how the process of making the products made by our employees." Said David Jarvis, deputy head of the IT division unit mobile devices. "I spend much of my time in culture change," said Fenger. "Every time you start a new concept, you will see that the employees will look different than usual. Some will oppose vocally, and others may be waiting until it fails with the concept itself. And you have to find people who actually agree with that concept and can help to execute the concept correctly. " As part of Motorola's new management concepts, Fenger formed Synergy Teams are made up of people who are expert in any business process that exist in Motorola, as customer sevice and support, logistics, sourcing, supply chain, and new product introduction. Motorola then invited some consultants Cisco Systems Internet Business Solutions Group (IBSG) to work in the team at the customer care process. Karen Hamilton, senior director, personal communication sector, service and support at Motorola said "We can look back on the roadmap that we have made earlier vs. the things we had never thought of before, and then we look for weaknesses, strengths, and opportunities of these things. " Cisco IBSG also worked with Bob Chan, deputy head of the IT division for personal communication Motorola Asia, in some cases in China where Motorola is focused on improving customer satisfaction and loyalty.
Solutions Cisco IBSG identified several issues related to customer care-busniess-to-business (B2B) support, field service B2B and business-to-consumer (B2C) support. "Cisco did a remarkable job in the identification," said Fenger. "They showed us how we should evaluate a call center, what should we focus on, and what opportunities that might occur. It really helped us because they can understand our problems and look at it from an external perspective, giving us beberpa comparison of the data, and help us solve the problem in detail. Furthermore motorola team attend Cisco Executive Briefing Center (EBC) in San Jose to learn more about best practices in the industry. "As a company, we are at a different level from what is discussed here, and this is good for the sake of the maturity of the company" said Hamilton. "They menjukkan how customer self-service should evolve." Cisco IBSG consultants also demonstrates how Motorola can take advantage of the networking and the web in the area of ​​service and support to implement automated contract management, software downloads, update product specifications, and requirements gathering for reomote monitoring and support. "Cisco guide us in the right direction, strengthening our future roadmap, and accelerate the implementation of some things" said Hamilton.

Result In 2005, Motorola managed to achieve that goal is to save expenses of $ 3miliar by Digital Six Sigma concepts. Some of the things that makes the Motorola achieving these goals is • B2B support - the automation of several critical areas, including expenditure management, and software downloads. • B2B field service - Using the web-based to increase revenue and reduce expenditure in terms of service and support. • B2C support - Increase revenue through support cutomer support better, and also increase customer loyalty towards the company
