The term "sigma" is used in statistics as a measure of variation. Six Sigma denotes a 99.9997% defect free yield for a process. The goal is to reduce process output variation so that six standard deviations lie between the mean and the nearest specification limit. To achieve this almost perfect level in quality, Six Sigma focuses on reducing the variations that can occur in a process such as variations in materials, equipment, methods and conditions.

Six Sigma's methodology is data intensive and relies on accurate data collection and measurement to plan and track improvements. Sigma levels of performance are expressed as Defects per Million Opportunities (DPMO), how many errors would occur if an activity were repeated one million times. 3 Sigma is 66,807 defects per million. The goal is to approach 6 Sigma or 3.4 defects per million (Motorola Method).

Six Sigma's Roots are in TQM

Six Sigma is a process improvement methodology that has its foundation in TQM - Total Quality Management philosophies and incorporates concepts from other approaches such as:

Re-Engineering
Balanced Scorecard
Voice of the Customer
Design of Experiments

Customer Orientation

Six Sigma tackles all projects from the perspective of the customer. A gap between what the customer desires and what the organization can currently deliver is seen as an opportunity to create significant value. A six sigma project begins with understanding the market. From that understanding, critical customer requirements (CCRs) are developed and process performance is measured against the CCRs.

The 5 Steps - DMAIC

The DMAIC cycle( Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control), taken from the older TQM model known as plan-do-study-act, is used to guide Six Sigma process-improvement projects.

Bottom Line Results

The potential impact on the bottom line is projected prior to starting a Six Sigma project and an evaluation is made at the end to determine if the financial goals have been met.
