What is Six Sigma?
Six Sigma is a proven, rigorous methodology that uses data and statistical analysis to provide organizations with a framework for identifying customer needs and developing a consistent, high-quality process that can meet those needs. “Sigma” is a statistical term that measures how far a given process deviates from perfection; Six Sigma implies no more than 3.4 defects per million opportunities. For many organizations, Six Sigma has become synonymous with a measure of quality that strives for near perfection.
