Six Sigma (6s) is een kwaliteitsmanagement methodologie die ondernemingen de hulpmiddelen biedt om de kwaliteit van hun bedrijfsprocessen te verbeteren. Hierbij gaat het om een stijging van de prestatie en een daling van de variaties in een proces. Beide activiteiten leiden tot vermindering van defecten en toename van winsten, werknemersmoreel en productkwaliteit.

A quality management system pioneered by Motorola and used by many manufacturing companies. Sigma refers to a standard deviation of a set of statistics. If defects occur according to a standard normal distribution, 'six sigma' corresponds to approximately two quality failures per billion parts manufactured. In practical application of the Six Sigma methodology, however, the rate is taken to be 3.4 per million.
6 Sigma excels at improving manufacturing quality, particularly for critical products that can't allow any defects (such as jet engines), but it hasn't proven to be an effective approach for improving business processes, customer experiences, or internal corporate culture.
