What is Six Sigma ? Six Sigma is a disciplined, data-driven approach and methodology for eliminating defects (driving towards six standard deviations between the mean and the nearest specifications limit) in any process-from manufacturing to transactional and from product to service.

Why Six Sigma? The word sigma is statistical term that measures how far a given process deviates from perfection. The central idea behind Six Sigma is that if you can measure how many “ defects ” you have in a process, you can symmetrically figure out how to eliminate them and get as close to “ zero defects ”.
