  Six Sigma - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Six Sigma was pioneered at Motorola in the mid-1980s by Bob Galvin, who succeeded his father and Motorola founder, Paul Galvin, as head of the company, and by Motorola engineer Bill Smith.
Others suggest that Six Sigma, rather than being a true methodology, is more often implemented to start an unending cycle of improvement and use of better tools on the industry day to day practices rather than to use advanced statistical theories that cannot be daily applied.
They have less six sigma responsibility and their energies are focused on projects that tie directly to their day-to-day work.

 Six Sigma: Fad or Fundamental?
Six Sigma emphasizes observational methods and experimentation in the scientific context--for example, two-level factorial experiments are standard, and graphical methods are emphasized for the analysis of these experiments.
Thus, as Six Sigma was approaching adolescence, quality professionals at Motorola were describing their methods to their colleagues and learning how far Motorola had advanced in comparison to other companies.
Furthermore, sigma, as defined in process capability studies, is the "short-term within sample variability." Thus the 1.5-sigma shift allows for variation of the mean about the target.

 Six Sigma :: 6 Sigma Overview from theQualityPortal   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
Moreover, six sigma improvement projects typically return in excess of $150k to $250k per project with a Black Belt returning as much as $1 million to the bottom line each year.
Remember that six sigma is complementary to other initiatives such as ISO or QS 9000 (which is mainly procedural), Total Quality Management (which is mainly cultural) and Statistical Process Control (which is primarily statistical process monitoring).
Six Sigma requires that processes operate such that the nearest engineering requirement is at least plus or minus six sigma from the process mean.

 Who Needs Six Sigma Anyway?
Although it's true that some companies--and they constitute a small percentage of the whole--have had exceptional returns on investment, they only experienced such a tremendous turnaround because they attacked the simplest, easiest-to-solve problems first, and their quality levels were so low that anything they tried would have been a success.
Not only is Six Sigma startlingly similar, but APQP is actually more precise because it ties all deliverables of a particular phase to a timing milestone.
We don't need the Six Sigma methodology for transactional problems such as paying suppliers within 90 days to 120 days; rather, we need to recognize that suppliers have to be paid on timely basis.

 Earthworks Sigma 6.2
The Sigma 6.2 is a reasonably compact two-way passive design with a very unusual reflex cabinet construction, and it weighs a substantial 14kg.
Although the Sigma monitor has no front grille (the nature of the cabinet precludes such a facility) the fact that the tweeter baffle is set back from the front baffle affords some level of protection to the exposed tweeter.
In contrast to this 'standard' approach, the Sigma monitors appear to have a very directional characteristic indeed, with remarkably little energy being emitted to the sides and rear of the cabinet.

 Minimonitor Accuracy - Earthworks Sigma 6.2 by Steven R. Rochlin   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
The main focus of the Earthworks Sigma 6.2 loudspeaker was to achieve as accurate a signal from the amplifier output to what the loudspeaker produces.
It is akin to the Sigma 6.2 being along the lines of the critically acclaimed Wilson Watt, yet more refined and not as brittle nor harsh as the early Wilson loudspeakers were.
While it may be hand for some to understand the Earthworks Sigma 6.2 being a bargain at $3,000 per pair, imagine a speaker withy the same tweeter as the Krell LAT-2 that retails at $9,500 per pair yet is designed for ultimate precision.

 Six Sigma - a Whatis.com definition - see also: 6 Sigma
Six Sigma is a management philosophy developed by Motorola that emphasizes setting extremely high objectives, collecting data, and analyzing results to a fine degree as a way to reduce defects in products and services.
The philosophy behind Six Sigma is that if you measure how many defects are in a process, you can figure out how to systematically eliminate them and get as close to perfection as possible.
All Six Sigma processes are executed by Six Sigma Green Belts or Six Sigma Black Belts, which are then overseen by a Six Sigma Master Black Belts, terms created by Motorola.
