The Six Sigma methodology is defined by 5 DMAIC steps. DMAIC is the acronym for Define - Measure - Analyze - Improve - Control. In addition to the 5 DMAIC steps, there is also a step zero that occurs first. It is known as six sigma leadership.

Six Sigma:

Is more than “training”; it is an approach based on data, geared toward projects with quantifiable business outcomes. For instance, in 1999 GE Capital was able to save $2 Billion with Six Sigma.
