Explanation
Six Sigma is a data-driven methodology built around two pillars: achieving measurable, quantifiable, stable results (A) and reducing variation in processes and products (B). The entire DMAIC framework (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control) exists to eliminate defects by statistically minimizing process variation, producing consistent, predictable outputs - making A and B the core DNA of Six Sigma.
Why C and D are wrong:
- C (business ethics/transparency) describes corporate governance frameworks (like Sarbanes-Oxley), not Six Sigma.
- D (waste reduction) is the focus of Lean manufacturing, not Six Sigma. While Lean Six Sigma combines both, pure Six Sigma targets variation, not waste.
Memory tip: Think of Six Sigma's name itself - "sigma" (σ) is the statistical symbol for standard deviation (variation). If you see "sigma," think statistics, measurement, and variation control - that locks in A and B instantly.
