    Hi everyone,

    I'm trying to do some thinking around the myths associated with Six Sigma. I'd like to brainstorm as many myths as possible, so that I may prepare a response when these myths are voiced in my Black Belt's teams. I would greatly appreciate your help on this forum in presenting additional myths. Here's what I have so far:

    • Six Sigma is the same as TQM
    • Six Sigma is too statistical for Transactional processes, it should only be used in manufacturing
    • Six Sigma projects take too long to complete
    • Six Sigma is too complicated for our business

    Thanks!
    Carol
