The concept of SixSigma can be used in various projects like defect reduction, yield improvement,improved customer satisfaction and higher net income. He also revealed interestingfacts related to the concept like a Six Sigma process produces3.4 Defects per Million Opportunities – DPMO and explained in detail theimplementation of this concept using DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyse, Improveand Control).
