    Six Sigma Foundations and


    Principles

    The Six Sigma Philosophy


    • An improvement method that aims to eliminate variation and
    defects in a wide array of processes. These reductions are realized
    through a focused effort on outputs critical to the customer, leading
    to a financial gain for the organization
    • Grounded in the goal of 3.4 defects for every 1 million opportunities
    • Pioneered by Motorola in the 1980’s and embraced heavily by
    General Electric in the 1990’s

    The Six Sigma Philosophy


    • Unlike TQ, which is worker empowered, Six
    Sigma is owned at the business leader
    champion level of the organization.
    • TQ is confined to functions or processes
    within the organization. Six Sigma seeks a
    broader cross functional deployment.
