It's pretty much bullshit.

 

[DannoMight]

quite a few companies that use that six sigma are doing quite poorly. ie FORD. I though it said they were going to make products better.

I'm going to incorporate the Six Sigma methodology into my poon scoring operations in hopes of better conquest.

You start by firing hotties and going for cheap low grade poon.

Six Sigma started to get real hot around 1988. I vaguely remember it as a quality initiative at Motorola for manufacturing.

My company recently decided to get really into it. Its all about cost savings and working more efficient. Basically, how to grind yourself into the ground even more by working more in less time.

Don't forget firing the last few people that were most recently hired.

Do you work for a large corporation. Mostly the big companies have enough money to waste on projects like this. I work for one of the big oil companies. We have a lot of money to burn.

The whole idea is to use standard processes & procedures to reduce the number of defects per million units.

There's a whole industry built up around getting Six Sigma certified - top certifieds = "Six Sigman Black Belt".

Yes, applicable to a company that makes widgets. We have our six-sigma black belt guy looking to find ways to cut operating costs at the refineries so we can have a higher profit margin on the gasoline we sell. Everyone knows that these low gas prices are killing us.lol

John Deere wastes a bunch of money and time on it as well

 

[DannoMight]

I think its a large corporate scam.

 

[chewyxrage]

The funny thing is sooo many big companies were like "Six Sigma? A new buzzword? We need to get on that, STAT!"

I swear John Deere is at least 7 years behind in everything.

Its quality control. In terms of Operations Managemnet, you have a quality control spec, and 6 sigma is the range of acceptable error. 3 standard deviations above, and the standard deviations below the mean of the process.

They're really doing a bang up job over at the Ford motor co.

Im waiting for their stock to hit the pink sheets so I can buy truckloads, then the federal bailout hits and their stock goes back up. gotta love the "invisible hand" of the market.

<--- It's a Six Sigma Green Belt (and I've never used that shit)

 

[anthrax]

It is a waste of money

Especially when you hire big guns consultants at $300 per hour implement this stuff
