Six Sigma is a methodology that aims to reduce defects and improve quality. It seeks to identify and remove the causes of defects and errors in manufacturing and business processes. The goal of Six Sigma is to achieve as close to zero defects as possible by detecting and eliminating the root causes of defects or errors in manufacturing and business processes. It was developed by Motorola in 1987 and focuses on using data and statistical analysis to measure and improve processes.

2. Total Quality Management Total Quality Management defined as “Managing the entire organization so that it excels on all dimensions of products and services that are important to the customer.” There are 2 fundamental operational goals are : Carefully design of the product and Service Ensuring that the Organization’s systems can consistently produce the design

3. Costs Of Quality Appraisal Costs Prevention Costs Internal Failure Costs External Failure Costs

4. What do we mean by Sigma ? Sigma : Sigma is the Greek letter Sigma is a symbol which shows the degree of variation in a process (standard deviation)

5. Six Sigma Six Sigma is about quality control and statistics. Six Sigma is a highly disciplined process that helps Company focus on developing and delivering near perfect product and Services. Six sigma refers to the philosophy and method companies use to eliminate in their products and processes. A defect is simply any component that does not fall within the customer’s specification limits.

6. Origin Of Six Sigma The term “Six sigma” coined By Bill Smith,an engineer of Motorola. Late 1970s – Motorola started experimenting with problem solving thought statistical analysis. 1987 – Motorola officially launched it’s six sigma Program.

7. What Do You Mean By Six Sigma?

8. Defects Per Million Opportunities(DPMO) DPMO = (number of defects/ no of opportunities for error per unit * no of units ) * 1,000,000 Unit : The item produced or being serviced. Defects : any item or event that does not meet the customer’s requirement. Opportunity : A chance for a defect to occur.
