Six Sigma is a data-driven quality management methodology developed by Motorola that aims to reduce process defects and variability to near-perfect levels. Businesses use its statistical tools and structured problem-solving framework (DMAIC: Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control) to improve manufacturing and business processes, with practitioners earning belt certifications (Green Belt, Black Belt, etc.).
