George…I’m a GE employee who is working in India. Your vedio demo has changed my perception of six sigma. I’m a fan of Six sigma now. Thank you very much for posting this. I decided to purchase the book “Six sigma for everyone” to get started. Well..I was looking at the review in amazon site. How was it possible that the first sentence in this book is what I was thinking earlier

His reference to Six Sigma being a snake is a very appropriate analogy.
Have a look theantisixsigmablog for stories of all the six sigma companies that are failing and the nonsense behind the hype.

Lean IS waste. And George Eckes is blocking my value stream.

Failure is probably not in the Six Sigma methodology but rather in the companies processes, data collection and analysis. A hammer is a great tool but it’s hard to drive a nail when your swinging it backwards.

The very term “six sigma” is based on pseudo-statistical nonsense … have a look at the article in Quality Digest on line this month … “Six Sigma – Lessons from Deming”

Average explination. Could be shaper and to the point. Average companies are 50% efficient and 70% effective – where does this data come from?

Toyota uses the Six Sigma form the biggining and I dont see it falling apart!!! stop telling xiiit!!!

Absolute rubbish !
Toyota is based on Deming.
Deming would turn in his grave if he heard of the six sigma nonsense.

Have you read the history of six sigma and the 3,4 dpmo … what a joke !
By sydneydoc on February 21st, 2009 at 3:54 am
3.4 dpmo … based on stacks of discs, then a “correction” that later “wasn’t needed”, then a “dynamic mean offset” that doesn’t exist !

Sad but true !
