Change can sneak up a little at a time. When things go wrong, the root cause is often attributed to small changes that you didn't realize happened. Six Sigma identifies those changes and determines which ones need to be improved. Six Sigma is the concept of Continuous Improvement dealing with the quality and reliability of processes and services. The Six Sigma philosophy is also applied when designing for manufacturability (DFM).
