Re: Certifications
It sounds like they saved some money there. ;D
A lot of people had trouble with the change in work culture that process control requires, but after all of the elements are in place it is a powerful tool that empowers everyone in the company to excel. Its really just good work habits with a fancy name, a lot of my more educated counterparts made it way more complicated and disrupting than it needed to be in the implementation phase. Some implementations have been ill fitted to the mission of a company.
The theory of relativity is simple too: All things in the universe are bound by the same physical laws, governed to, but not limited by, the observer in their specific frame of reference.
Six Sigma is just a referential number of 3.4 defects per million opportunities or 3.4 DPMO, or six sigma. It expresses a form of standard deviation to measured process control. It isn't really anything new, it has been around under other names since early in the 20th century and primarily in Asia. As a principle in practice on the shop floor, it is the development of process controls to achieve this as a long term relative process measurement of success of an entire work center and all of its dependent upstream and downstream processes. It involves the principle of in context sampling of natural waves and troughs of the rate of a process and seeking to narrow the range of these waves and troughs a consistent value of six sigma of individual process and its relationship to enable others. I.e, you cant get one process to six sigma, and knock another one off kilter, thus it is a continuous process of evaluation and improvement. The rejection of this in many work cultures has made it impossible for us to compete with cheap trade goods flooding the market. Too bad, its our loss. We could have got our costs down and been competitive. Everywhere I have used it, along with JIT material I/O and Kaizen waste control we have taken the market away from everyone, including the foreign companies. You can't stand against good work and expect to succeed.
