The mentioned examples are very good. One other is a paper written by Donald Wheeler. You can get it from his website.

Reminds me of the old saying:  those that DO    DO
Those that can’t DO  Teach and
Those that can’t Teach teach Teachers to Teach..
 
Cheers!

I have had experience with the first 3 on the list and would feedback the following:  Ripe4 more of a body-shop operation, pile ’em high, sell ’em cheap (although not so cheap).  Aspire has a reasonable network but I find Justin Blake to be more interested in closing a deal than my operation or the candidate.  Morpheus on the other hand are ve…[Read more]

Here’s a 2004 article “Design for Six Sigma at Ford”
http://www.asq.org/pub/sixsigma/past/vol4_issue1/ssfmv4i1soderborg.pdf
It should be called “Design for Failure at Ford”

The snale oil salesmen will always scratch for excuses for all the six sigma failures.  Ford was training thousands of black belts well after 2001.

Idiotinmath,
              I have never seen this man answer a stat question yet, he just post’s the same answers, one day he might be brave enough to do so !!!

I would be interested in the results of your survey.
 
Thanks!

Div , thats “Darth”, if you are a consultant i  am a Toyota Director, thats another dig at a pratt called John who says he works there.
So Div, do you tell the people you work for to come and join this excellent site and develop their skills in the subject.
 But please remain them not to ask a question,as they will feel the true power of the f…[Read more]

What crap !
I’ll bet you also believe in the tooth fairy ?

This idiot shows obvious signs of being a six sigma black belt.
p charts don’t have sub-groups you moron.

He does seem pretty stupid … it wouldn’t surprise me at all that he is a MBB.

There’s an opening? Rare.

You sound as though you don’t know the difference between an attribute and a variable outside of specification … perhaps you think SS is all about attributes ?

Come on John,
                    I take it the fact you have read what i wrote first, i worked with Toyota, if i was you, i would walk the green mile and not show my silly little self on this web page again, well, what department do you work in, what do you think about kami-shabai, or are you walking around the Burnaston plant asking people who…[Read more]

Believe me I’d much prefer that approach, but when you’re among the very first in your industry to pursue it you don’t necessarily have that option.  We do use that as a selection critieria, the response we typically have gotten is that they are willing to do it but haven’t before. Obviously that makes it impossible to audit past per…[Read more]

John,
    what are your views on kami-shabai

John,
 My post read”please amaze me and say you worked WITH Toyota, i have”
Learn to speak with data
I too will let the others draw their conclusions on you
so what is your function at Toyota, i will then ask a few of my Toyota mates whats wrong in your life.
 
 

John,
   Why are you talking like this, i did not know how they CALCULATED it so i looked it up on a web page, i was a supplier quality engineer working with Toyota, i would not have been involved in this process, i also had a lot of respect from the guys i worked with there.
 I do not talk BS.
 
 Regards,

John,
   TPS views value as a combination of cost,quality, and time. Cost is the total expense involved in the delivery of the product. Quality is any deviation from the standard. Time is best captured as the total elapsed process time from the start of a part, or transaction to its delivery.

Steve,
      Why do you spend so much time on this site when all you do is put ss down, please amaze me and say you have worked with Toyota, i have and someone like you would be shown the way out!!!!!
