The 1.5 sigma shift is an empirical correction used in シックスシグマ calculations to account for the long-term dynamic variation of a process. It posits that over time, a process mean will tend to drift by about 1.5 standard deviations from its short-term centered position. This shift is the reason a 6 sigma process corresponds to 3.4 DPMO, not the theoretical 2 defects per billion.

Disclaimer: the 1.5 sigma shift is one of the most debated aspects of Six Sigma. It originates from the observation that short-term data, collected over a brief period, typically shows less variation than long-term data from the same process. This is because over longer periods, factors like tool wear, material variations, operator differences, and environmental changes cause the process mean to drift. The 1.5 sigma value was determined empirically by Motorola engineers as a reasonable general estimate for this drift. By incorporating this shift, Six Sigma provides a more realistic, long-term view of process performance. The calculation for DPMO is thus based on the probability of an outcome falling outside a specification limit that is [latex]4.5\sigma[/latex] from the drifted mean ([latex]6\sigma – 1.5\sigma[/latex]). Critics argue that the 1.5 value is arbitrary and that a well-controlled process should not drift this much. Proponents argue it’s a pragmatic adjustment that makes the Six Sigma standard more applicable to real-world industrial processes.
