) Suppose that your business is operating at the four-and-a-half-sigma quality level (with 1350 ppm). If projects have an average improvement rate of 6%monthly, how many years will it take to achieve six-sigma quality (with 3.4 ppm)?
AT Six Sigma, there will be 3.4 ppm
Currently there is 1350 ppm
Let assume in x month, business will achieve Six Sigma quality.
3.4 = 1350*(1-6%)^x
0.94^x = 3.4/1350
x = ln(3.4/1350)/ln(0.94)
x = 96.71 month
x = 8.06 years

Many of you will have heard of Six Sigma management. What you may not realize is that the etymology of the term Six Sigma is rooted in statistics.

So when these Six Sigma people start talking about “six sigma processes,” what they mean is that they want to have processes where there are (at least) six standard deviations between the mean...
