The term has two distinct meanings–one is statistical; the other is a comprehensive quality system.

Six Sigma evolved to define numerous ideas within the business sphere and is sometimes confusing. Firstly, it's a statistical benchmark. Any business process, which produces less than 3.4 defects per 1 million chances is said to be efficient. A defect is anything produced outside of consumer satisfaction. Second, it is a training and certification program, which teaches the core principles of Six Sigma. Practitioners may achieve the Six Sigma certification belt levels, ranging from white belt to black belt. Finally, it's a philosophy, which promotes the idea that all business processes can be measured and optimized.
