| Umm. Six sigma is a corporate SAP construct.

SAP?  They were not the well-known heros of the movement.

Seems to be the case.

Google doesn't know this.  Most of the hits are for typos of "six
sigma".  There also seems to be SiC sigma (SiC == silicon carbide):
"SiC Sigma fibres are commonly used as reinforcement in metal matrix
composites."  That's the first sentence of the abstract of:
<http://www.gruppofrattura.it/ocs/index.php/esis/ECF13/paper/viewFile/8615/5049>

How does sigma relate to scriptum?  One is Greek and the other Latin,
for example.

Interesting.  I found no google hits on this usage.

Of course now there will be: this list is visible to google.
