Recent Quality Discussions
Identifying Mystery Tool
There is a Six Sigma tool that I'd like to use in an upcoming meeting but can't remember the name of it or how it works exactly. All I know is that it asks questions like 'where is it?' and 'where is it not.' Does anyone know what I'm talking about and where I can find more info on how to use it?

Cross-industry Benchmarking
I am the director of Six Sigma at the Sheraton Grand in Sacramento. I am looking to connect with other Six Sigma Black Belts or Master Black Belts to discus what is working, not working in industries other than hospitality.

Environmental Application
I would like to take the Six Sigma Green Belt Training at my place of employment. While I am forward thinking in why I would like to take the training, my boss is pushing back on the 3-day training, not believing it will be applicable to my current position.
"I am an environmental professional who regularly reads and summarizes laws and regulations. I also run greenhouse gas emission calculations for our entire business and I know these numbers could improve in quality. Is Six Sigma something I could currently use in my position, or is this really something more suited for operations and quality control?

Calculating Scrap Percentage
I have a product that includes six internal processes. I want to know what the scrap is but this is my challenge: Process A - 500 parts are loaded, 50 are scrapped = 450 for next process. Process B - 450 parts are loaded, plus 35 of the day before = 485 loaded, 80 are scrapped = 405 for next process.
"This similar situation happens in the consecutive processes. The last one is inspection and packing. How would you calculate total produced and scrap percentage?
