sigma metrics

Sigma metrics are a way to measure how well a process performs in terms of quality and consistency. Basically, it tells you how many errors or defects occur within a process compared to what is acceptable. A higher sigma level means fewer errors and a more reliable process—six sigma indicates very high quality with minimal mistakes. This metric helps organizations identify how close they are to perfection, guiding improvements to reduce errors, improve efficiency, and ensure consistent results. It's a standardized way to assess and enhance the quality of processes across various industries.
