Six Sigma is a data-driven methodology focused on improving business processes by identifying and eliminating defects, reducing variability, and enhancing overall efficiency. It was developed by Motorola in the 1980s and has since been widely adopted across industries to achieve operational excellence.
Six Sigma follows a structured approach using the DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, and Control) framework for existing processes and DMADV (Define, Measure, Analyze, Design, and Verify) for new process designs.
By relying on statistical analysis and a strong emphasis on quality management, Six Sigma helps organizations minimize errors, optimize performance, and enhance customer satisfaction. Companies that implement Six Sigma methodologies often experience cost savings, improved productivity, and higher consistency in delivering quality products and services.
