12 Six Sigma Six Sigma is a set of techniques and tools for process improvement. It was developed by Jack Welsh and Motorola in Six Sigma seeks to improve the quality of process outputs by identifying and removing the causes of defects (errors) and minimizing variability in manufacturing and business processes. It uses a set of quality management methods, including statistical methods, and creates a special infrastructure of people within the organization ("Champions", "Black Belts", "Green Belts", "Yellow Belts", etc.) who are experts in these methods. Each Six Sigma project carried out within an organization follows a defined sequence of steps and has quantified value targets, for example: reduce process cycle time, reduce pollution, reduce costs, increase customer satisfaction, and increase profits. These are also core to principles of Total Quality Management (TQM).

19 Quality Control vs. Quality Assurance Quality Control: focused on fulfilling the quality criteria/requirements i.e. project level team, reviews, comments, revise Quality Assurance: focused on verifying requirements fulfilled i.e. provide training, verify QC is done per requirements
