Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The methodology being used by Cindy Hayes is Six Sigma, which focuses on improving quality and reducing costs by identifying and eliminating process variation. It emphasizes on the financial benefits that can be achieved through its implementation. The other options, such as ISO 9000:2000, Baldrige, and Deming, do not specifically focus on financial returns and cost savings like Six Sigma does.
