Six Sigma at many organizations simply means a measure of quality that strives for near perfection. Six Sigma is a disciplined, data-driven approach and methodology for eliminating defects (driving towards six standard deviations between the mean and the nearest specification limit) in any process — from manufacturing to transactional and from product to service.
The statistical representation of Six Sigma describes quantitatively how a process is performing. To achieve Six Sigma, a process must not produce more than 3.4 defects per million opportunities. A Six Sigma defect is defined as anything outside of customer specifications. A Six Sigma opportunity is then the total quantity of chances for a defect. Process sigma can easily be calculated using a Six Sigma calculator.
The fundamental objective of the Six Sigma methodology is the implementation of a measurement-based strategy that focuses on process improvement and variation reduction through the application of Six Sigma improvement projects. This is accomplished through the use of two Six Sigma sub-methodologies: DMAIC and DMADV. The Six Sigma DMAIC process (define, measure, analyze, improve, control) is an improvement system for existing processes falling below specification and looking for incremental improvement. The Six Sigma DMADV process (define, measure, analyze, design, verify) is an improvement system used to develop new processes or products at Six Sigma quality levels. It can also be employed if a current process requires more than just incremental improvement. Both Six Sigma processes are executed by Six Sigma Green Belts and Six Sigma Black Belts, and are overseen by Six Sigma Master Black Belts.
According to the Six Sigma Academy, Black Belts save companies approximately $230,000 per project and can complete four to 6 projects per year. General Electric, one of the most successful companies implementing Six Sigma, has estimated benefits on the order of $10 billion during the first five years of implementation. GE first began Six Sigma in 1995 after Motorola and Allied Signal blazed the Six Sigma trail. Since then, thousands of companies around the world have discovered the far reaching benefits of Six Sigma.
Six Sigma is a data driven approach or a statistical approach for analysing the root causes of a business problem(whether it is in production, marketing, sales, design etc)and solving it, so that the operational efficiency of a business is improved ,thus increasing the profits.
The keyword for six Sigma is “Outside In” ie, the understanding of the output or the Customer Requirements and Specifications must be the first step while implementing six Sigma.
It differs from the traditional Quality conepts in the Six Sigma is not only for the sake of Quality, but for improving business with decrease in cost Input.
The two methods that are followed to achieve Six Sigma are DMADV(When a new product is developed)and DMAIC(When an existing process or product is to be Improved)

To learn about the basic of Six Sigma, I would suggest you to attend the FREE on-line course provided by
The good part of it is that after completing your FREE on line course,quiz and assignments you get a FREE certificate as well.
The course is designed for the learners with no background knowledge of Six Sigma.
