Six Sigma

"In the business of improvement it is too easy to let opinions get in the way of the facts"

What is it?

Six Sigma is a business philosophy that incorporates statistical and problem solving techniques to deliver fundamental improvements in performance. By harnessing an understanding of the process along with the people's knowledge, energy and enthusiasm, it has been shown to result in less waste, fewer mistakes, reduced failure costs, improved customer satisfaction and better profits!
