FAQ
What is the primary goal of Six Sigma?
The primary goal is to enhance customer satisfaction while increasing profits through improved quality and reduced defects.

Who developed Six Sigma?
Six Sigma was developed by Motorola in 1987 and has since been adopted by numerous organizations worldwide.

What does DMAIC stand for?
DMAIC stands for Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, and Control, which are the key phases in the Six Sigma process.

What is COPQ?
Cost of Poor Quality (COPQ) refers to the costs associated with defects and failures in a process, which can negatively impact profitability.

How is DPMO calculated?
DPMO (Defects Per Million Opportunities) is calculated by multiplying the Defects Per Opportunity (DPO) by one million.

What are the different training levels in Six Sigma?
The training levels include Master Black Belt (MBB), Black Belt (BB), Green Belt (GB), and Yellow Belt (YB), each with distinct roles and responsibilities.

Why is management involvement crucial in Six Sigma?
Management involvement is essential for driving the effort, securing resources, and ensuring alignment with organizational strategy.

How can Six Sigma help in retaining employees?
