high. Companies operating at 3 or 4 sigma typically spend

of poor quality. Companies operating at six sigma typically
spend less than 5 percent of their revenues fixing problems.

"sigma" refers to a statistical measure of variance. The "six" in
sigma refers to the highest possible sigma rating, which
indicates that a product or service meets all the customers' time
and quality criteria (delivery on-time and at- quality) 99.9996%
of the time. These time and quality criteria can be applied to
virtually any product or service, so six sigma tools can be used
in any type of organization that has customers.

      Six sigma, at its basic level, is attempting to improve both
effectiveness and efficiency at the same time. A technical
measure of how many unhappy customer experiences per
