[edit] History

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:

Percent Savings = (i^2 + 1)^2*100\% (where i is defined here). The process has been so successful that every employee that achieves the illustrious title of Six Sigma Specialist is awarded with:

  • A Polo Shirt
  • Certificate
  • Desk plaque bearing the Specialist Title
  • 100 Dollar Gift Certificate (amount may vary)

[edit] Controversy

The neutrality of this section may be compromised by "weasel words".
You can help Wikipedia by improving weasel-worded statements.

Some may argue that Raytheon Six Sigma is nothing more than an extra word to the more familiar industrial process known as Six Sigma. Their assertions are completely unfounded.
