As an integral enabler of Raytheon’s growth strategy, the processes and tools of Raytheon Six Sigma help train our employees to focus on improvement. Raytheon has trained 1,300 employees as R6σ Experts, and 57,000 employees as qualified R6σ Specialists, representing more than 70 percent of the Raytheon population. 

An example of the success that R6σ can bring to the company and the customer is the Joint Standoff Weapon (JSOW) Block II program. A Raytheon-U.S. Navy JSOW team applied R6σ tools and practices to reduce cost by 25 percent and produce the next generation missile through parts reduction, reuse and robust performance. In 2005, the JSOW team was one of 20 R6σ projects honored with a Raytheon Six Sigma Award.
