You have unintentionally revealed that you do not know what Six Sigma is.

Let me guess....Cain supporters?

Ping to read funny comments by folks who decide to blast Newt for Six Sigma implementation idea, yet have no real concept of what it is.

ROFLMAO

I worked at a number of companies that use it, so it'd be very hard for me to not know what it is. And yes, they moved operations to places like China and Korea, or shut down plants.

You trolling FR looking for such people? You'll be wasting not only your own time, but everyone else's, with all due respect.

“You have unintentionally revealed that you do not know what Six Sigma is.” Let me guess....Cain supporters?”

ok smart ass seeing as you like to get personal, what you got.

I am a six sigma black belt and I can tell you as an expert what six sigma does best is build bureaucracy and yes it does require consensus. I know of one major company almost destroyed itself obsessing six sigma, and I worked in another one for 24 years that became so process bloated it almost cant function. Innovation and the ability of individuals to make decisions died because its a “follow the process and meet your metrics” world.

Having said that, there are good problem solving disciplines within the six sigma model but as I mention before what always overwhelms its value is the bureaucracy that springs up processing the process.

I can only imagine what a cluster “F” the government would turn six sigma into. Oh and by the way you can be six sigma green and still build crap..... Its been proven over and over. oh an by the way you can be a Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award winner and build a lot of crap too as long as you just do it “following the process”.

Zero defect, Deming TQM, Six Sigma, Lean, been there done that most have been dumped for the cost of the process. The new buzz is “Affordability” which will share a similar fate in a year or so. Thank God I am retired and don’t have to play those BS “next best thing” games anymore.

The one thing I do know about Sigma Six is that Unionistas Hate it. And that tells me much!
