and wth is six sigma?
It comes from statistics, it basically says that all output within six standard deviations of the mean (i.e. the ideal) for a given performance value must be within the acceptable range. Basically something like 99.9% of your output is supposed to function within the design parameters. Theoretically it's a way of reducing defective units of output, in actuality it sets a standard that is too high to be achieveable.
