hai,

Six Sigma is a methodology which ensures that there are not more than 3.4 defects per million opportunities.  The steps involved are DMAIC, which are Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve and Control.

hope this would give you some idea.

The Six Sigma methodologies are a business philosophy and initiative that enables world-class quality and continuous improvement to achieve the highest level of customer satisfaction. Metrics are established that align an organization?s strategic goals and values to that of their customer?s needs and expectations.

Sigma (σ) represents a unit of measurement that designates the distribution or spread about the mean (average) of a process. In business, a sigma value is a metric that represents how well a process is performing and how often a defect is likely to occur. The higher the sigma value, the less variation and fewer defects the process will have. Six Sigma is the new standard of excellence at only 3.4 defects per million opportunities (DPMO).

?SixSigma? means six standard deviations. At the Six Sigma statistical level, only 3.4 items per million are outside of the acceptable level. Thus, the Six Sigma quality level means that out of every one million items counted 999,996.6 will be correct, and no more than 3.4 will be defective.

Actually, six sigma represents the six standard deviations from the mean toward the upper specification limit in a normally distributed sample where an average of 3.4 defects per million are reported to live.
