SIX SIGMASix Sigma is a business practice of identifying and removing defects or errors in manufacturing. This idea is also in practice for removing
errors in general business processes. Six Sigma relies on statistics, management methods, and resident experts on the process. These
experts are awarded black, green and yellow ‘belts’ based on their training. Six Sigma was originally developed by Motorola and was
made popular by Jack Welch and General Electric in the 1990’s.
