Description
Six Sigma is a quality improvement and business strategy that
began in the 1980's at Motorola. Why "Sigma"? The word is a 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 systematically figure
out how to eliminate them and get as close to "zero defects" as
possible.
