# Six Sigma and Defect Rates **Six Sigma = 3.4 defects per million opportunities (DPMO)**, or 99.99966% accuracy. This corresponds to a process where the mean is 6 standard deviations away from the nearest specification limit (accounting for a 1.5σ process shift). **Why it matters:** In high-volume or critical operations, even a 99% success rate (3.8 sigma) means 20,000 defects per million—potentially thousands of failed products, medical errors, or safety incidents daily. Six Sigma quality ensures near-perfect performance where failure is costly or dangerous, making the difference between "pretty good" and world-class reliability.
