Part 1: What is Six Sigma?

Six Sigma is used in management to reduce the likelihood of errors occurring in the course of business. Designed by Motorola, the method relies on a statistical, data-centric approach to help businesses work faster while making fewer mistakes in the process. It is based on five principles: customer-centricity; measuring the initial performance of business processes and identifying any problems; removing activities that cause the problems or don't add value to operations; continue working to improve the system; and adopt a flexible, responsive approach to ensure the same mistakes don't occur.

Six Sigma has been adopted by businesses, such as Microsoft, and even local governments, as a tool to improve their business processes. It is a versatile methodology that can be applied to a wide range of fields. Ultimately, having businesses perform more efficiently will result in better goods and services for the wider society.
