Six Sigma Formula, PROBLEM SOLVING Equation Notebook

Powerful Six Sigma Formula or problem-solving equation Y=f(x) can help determine the cause and effect in a project, and it can be used to measure performance and find areas for improvement. In Six Sigma this formula is considered the “breakthrough equation.” To break it down into its components, let’s define each part of the formula: Y: the outcome or outcomes, result or results, that you want X: the inputs, factors or whatever is necessary to get the outcome (there can be more than one possible x) F: the function or process that will take the inputs and make them into the desired outcome
