QLIC's Comprehensive Six Sigma Assistance
Six Sigma is considered best methodology for finding and adopting ways to do things better, faster and at lower costs in every facet of business. It exploits your actual data and robust statistical techniques to determine what is critical for your performance and how to improve it.
The name six sigma came from a goal to reducing defects to 3 parts per million, which is ± 6 sigma( including some process drift)
