The Six Sigma

The Six Sigma method is an improvement strategy based on the strength of objective measurement. It
combines tools and techniques used in Total Quality Management to analyze the primary causes of problems
within company processes and aims to reduce errors and control results up to a 6 Sigma level (3-4 errors per
every million).

A correct implementation of Six Sigma methods can achieve financial benefits that can be valued at 2-3% of
turnover, peaking at as much as 10%.
