What
is Lean Six (6) Sigma?
is
a symbol for Standard Deviation in statistics. The
output
of any stable process is expected to be contained within
a spread of 6 Standard Deviations. If that distribution
is centred and the spread ‘fits’ twice within
the customer’s specification limits then the chance
of a defect will be approximately zero (or 3.4 ppm).
It
is the achievement of this that defines the goal of a
Lean Six Sigma program.
