SIX SIGMA

Six Sigma is a process of improving the productivity and performance of an organization by eliminating the likelihood of errors. It is a data-driven approach that uses disciplined,  statistical-based technologies, and continuous improvement methodologies to reduce or eliminate issues in products, services, and process.

The name is derived from the Greek symbol “sigma” or “σ” which is a statistical term used to identity process derivation from the process mean or target. Six Sigma is a set of tools and techniques used by companies to enhance production process and eliminate defects. It is a popular way to ensure that the output is qualitative. A six Sigma certification is a validation for the professional about his/her skills in regards to risk identifying and management, or understanding the defects in the process and the ability to remove them.
