The goal of the Six Sigma strategy is to improve the quality of process outputs by addressing errors through minimizing variability in the manufacturing process – i.e.‚ the production process can statistically be expected to be free of errors or defects at the Six Sigma confidence level (effectively only 3.4 defects per million). In the case of a manufacturing entity like TMM‚ Six Sigma could be implemented through the so-called “DMAIC” methodology‚
