Whereas continuous efforts to achieve stable and predictable 
process results are of vital importance to business suc-

Whereas all business and organizational processes have char-

controlled; 
Whereas achieving sustained quality improvement requires 
commitment from the entire organization, particularly 
from top-level management; 
Whereas the goal of Six Sigma is to reduce process errors to 
less than 3.4 defects per million; 
Whereas 3.4 defects per million provides managers and su-

Whereas Lean Six Sigma seeks to improve business methods 
by increasing efficiencies and eliminating waste; 
Whereas Lean Six Sigma requires managers to perform a
