Six Sigma, which began as a methodology for improvement, became a strategy for success. Corporations reported huge savings. Thus, Six Sigma was standardized as statistical and fact driven five phase methodology. Statistics, which is supposed to help in the analysis of data for drawing conclusions when uncertain, became a main attraction for some and distraction for others. For many of us, statistics became a real pain. The excessive focus on statistics led to confusion, waste in its implementation, and impediment to realizing benefits.
