Answer 1

Answer:

detects potential problems early to prevent their occurrence.

Explanation:

Six Sigma is a quality business management strategy which helps business organizations to improve the quality of processes, products and services by discovering and eliminating defects, variations or errors. It is a strategic business concept that was developed in 1986 by Motorola.

This ultimately implies that, the six sigma approach to quality control detects potential problems early to prevent their occurrence.

Under the six sigma approach, any process that doesn't provide customer satisfaction or causes challenges in an organisation's process should be eliminated from the system in order to produce quality products and services. It allows only 3.4 defective features for every million opportunities and as such expects processes to be defect free 99.99966 percent of the time.

Generally, there are two (2) main methods of achieving the six sigma approach;

1. DMAIC: define, measure, analyze, improve and control.

2. DMADV: define, measure, analyze, design and verify.
