What is six sigma?
Keywords: Six sigma, Quality management
In many organizations six sigma simply means a measure of quality that strives for near perfection. Six sigma is a disciplined, data-driven approach and methodology for eliminating defects (driving towards six standard deviations between the mean and the nearest specification limit) in any process – from manufacturing to transactional and from product to service. Siemens is just one of the global organizations to benefit from a six sigma implementation. www.valor.com.
