Six Sigma is a data-driven methodology focused on improving business processes by reducing defects and variability. Originating from Motorola in the 1980s, it aims for near-perfection, targeting only 3.4 defects per million opportunities. Six Sigma uses DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control) for existing processes and DMADV (Define, Measure, Analyze, Design, Verify) for new ones. It emphasizes rigorous statistical analysis to identify inefficiencies and implement sustainable improvements. By enhancing quality and efficiency, Six Sigma boosts customer satisfaction and reduces costs, making it a valuable tool for organizations seeking operational excellence.
