Three-Sigma Control Limits

The term "three-sigma limits" refers to a statistical computation in which the data are within three standard deviations of the mean. Three-sigma is a business term that refers to operations that are efficient and create high-quality products. In statistical quality control charts, three-sigma limits are used to determine the upper and lower control limits. Control charts are used to determine limitations for a statistically controlled industrial or commercial process.
