Raytheon invented a new science called Raytheon Six Sigma to strategically enable Mission Assurance while establishing a lower cost base across horizontal technological insertion (HTI) technologies. The Raytheon Six Sigma process has saved Raytheon untold fortunes while increasing product reliability to an amount between +/-1000%. An ambiguous amount indeed. However, employees have been assured that future savings will be significant. It should be noted that research being performed by scientists thus far indicates a possible savings approximated by the following mathematical formula:

- 100 Dollar Gift Certificate (amount may vary)
