Six Sigma Methodology is a kind of flexible approach which can change its path for solving any problem as per the requirement of the needs. It is a type of approach which is the combination to brainstorming the session as well as in designing and redesigning the process parameter and operating conditions. Six Sigma is a management oriented method to manage the man, machine and money collectively and take advantage of the available business assets.
