Annonymous replied to the topic Is Six Sigma Failing? in the forum General 15 years, 11 months ago
Since many of the large companies that have implemented Six Sigma are below the S&P index, yet Six Sigma is known for its ability to drive verifiable cost savings, it would then appear that Six Sigma is an operational tool and not a strategic business tool.
This logic begs the question: “How can Six Sigma be used as an overarching business s…[Read more] -

Mr. Sam Orez. I am so sorry that my command of the
English language does not meet your implied or implicit
standards. I will strive to continuously improve usage and
structure, as well as spelling and clarity. My forthcoming
campaign of improvement will be automatically extended
to include a reduction of ignorance. I do pray that…[Read more] -

Mr. Tom:
This is my understanding as well. Perhaps our kind forum consultants might comment on this particular aspect of the discussion.

Mr. Tom:
Do you believe the Zeta Distribution, Riemann Hypothesis, or Zipf’s Law has anything to do with this discussion?

To Dr. EdG.
Thank you for your interest in the concept of value creation. Inclusion of the C2 term helps us to better understand the root ideas that underpin the common term we refer to as “capability.” That is to say, the capability of something (virtually anything) is actually the ratio of its realized capacitiy contrasted to the as…[Read more] -

Dr. Phil. Why do you seek to create ill will toward me? I
have done you no harm, only admiring your position on
this forum and holding deep respect for your expertise
and advice. Your command of Six Sigma is most
impressive and I hope to call upon this expertise to further
the current discussion. I would enjoy your work on the…[Read more] -

Mr. Bradley:
It is a fact that I am the smartest person I know, simply because I recognize how stupid I really am. I struggle so much with this every day of my life; doing stupid things in a stupid way, asking stupid questions. If only I was a little smarter. I do yearn for this so much.
Only then would I be able to detect something oth…[Read more] -

Perhaps a real world example is in order:
1) The fixed cost of a particular process is $100 per hour
2) The variable cost has a mean of $25 per hour
3) The variable cost has a standard deviation of $3 per hour
4) The process cycles every 10 minutes
5) A unit of product is produced upon completion of ea…[Read more] -

Mr. Gibbons. Please reference the following corrected addendum:
4a) Process capacity can be expressed in terms of ITO cycles.
4b) With respect to 4a, process capacity is correlated to output units
4c) A = Number of successful ITO cycles per standard unit of time.
4d) B = Number of potential ITO cycles per standard unit of time.
4e) C =…[Read more] -

Mr. Kirk.
I will happily compy with your request and must admit that, once the text had posted, it was very difficult to read. I apologize for your underserved headache and will ensure that humanity is never again subjected to this inconvienent format. We certainly do not want the world of Six Sigma to become crosseyed — good vision for th…[Read more] -

Mr. Paul Gibbons. To satisfy your need; e.g., getting to the point:
1) There exist too many capability metrics (discrete and continuous).
2) Current capability metrics are difficult to amalgamate.
3) Only one metric is needed for all applications.
4) Capability = Actual Performance / Ideal Performance
5) The absolute range of point 4 is z…[Read more] -
Annonymous replied to the topic Velocity of Value in the forum General 17 years, 3 months ago
It occurs to me that currently available process capability
metrics exist in two preeminent domains. The first domain
embodies a class of metrics designed for continuous
data. The second domain encompasses those metrics
that rely on discrete data. The commonality of these two
domains is reflected by the concept of a ratio; i.e., a…[Read more] -

Mr. IAM. Again, let me applaud your continued
contribution to this discussion. I too love to learn. The
contributors to this forum can (and have) teach me a thing
or two (and likely much more). As you are not quick to
shut the door, neither am I. I will stick with this discussion;

Mr. EdG. Thank you kindly for your insightful reply. You
are absolutely right; I am currently constraining my
discussion on the producer’s side of things. I do believe
the VOV concept can be more easily understood by
staying on this side of the fence for a while. I strongly
seek to provide this forum with quality answers (and…[Read more] -

Mr. Paul Gibbons. First, let me say that your recent post
was fantastic. Your fine example is simple, yet very
effective. Your question was: Where does the VOV come
in [to play] and what use is it to me? In a very broad and
general context, the VOV concept is concerned with a
couple of vital issues. First, it reports on the relative…[Read more] -

Mr. Stan. I humbly and most graciously apologize for
disturbing or annoying you. My intent is merely to further
examine the VOV concept that you too seem to be
following quite closely. I have reviewed a number of your
posts and you certainly give the impression that you can
and want to further the aims of Six Sigma through critical…[Read more] -

Mr./Ms. Bradley. Are you also a Doctor of Philosophy?
Please inform me so that I can address you by this proper

deserves full recognition for all those that are so
accomplished. From your recent post, it would appear
that you might have a strong capability to provide some…[Read more] - Load More
