In Six Sigma, "sigma" is actually a statistical measure of standard deviation. It represents how far a process is from perfect. Six Sigma seeks to have minimal defects and variations while achieving near-perfect quality with a mere 3.4 defects per million opportunities.

If Six Sigma = 0.999999, then in percentage terms that would be 99.9999%.
3 Sigma is 66800 defects per million pieces 6 Sigma is 3-4 defects per million pieces You can check out the number of defective pieces per million & the % accuracy for all Sigma levels in the six sigma conversion chart in the related links section

sigma represents standard deviation. In a normal distribution, +/- 1 sigma from the mean, for instance, corresponds to approximately 67% of the area under the normal distribution. +/- 2 sigma corrresponds to 95% of the area and +/- 3 sigma from the mean corresponds to 99% of the area under a normal distribution. The area that is covered under +/- six sigma from the mean corresponds to nearly 100% -- that is, the part of the area NOT under that +/- 6 sigma is in the 10^-15 range or 1/1,000,000,000,000,000. The six sigma name borrows from this to suggest that the method gives this degree of certainty: that in 999,999,999,999,999 in 1,000,000,000,000,000 cases the result will be predictable. It does nothing, however, to explain how an agricultural process management methodology applies to other fields.

Six Sigma is the foundation based on which Lean concepts are created. So, learning the basics of Six Sigma first before you venture into Lean Six Sigma would be a good idea

Lean Six Sigma is a combined methodology that includes Lean principles which focus on wasting and flow and Six Sigma techniques which focus on the variation and quality of a process. Together they provide a structured process improvement methodology that includes identifying waste, optimizing flow, and improving the customer's experience. Lean aims to increase speed; Six Sigma is about being fast and consistent, with the ability to deliver defect-free processes to customers. Lean Six Sigma is a very widely used methodology that concentrates on data-driven approaches, deploying DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control) as well as many other improvement techniques, with ultimate objective to obtain measurable results and increase value, reduce operational costs, and improve process performance. Lean Six Sigma is a great strategy for managing change in an organization by focusing on operational excellence and continuous improvement. You can also take reference from: [Orage Blogs]
