I can read. It is just that I cannot relate what you are talking about to our discussion. Maybe I am not as smart as you are.

What the hell are you talking about?

What makes you beleive that you will be blasted for what you said?
You are absolutely right! I once worked for a company that decided to “go” six sigma and hired a consulting firm for that purpose. The management selected line supervisors and line leads to be trained, in less than a month, these people became black belts. You must have seen them…[Read more]

ANOVA is a basic step in the Design Of Experiment (DOE), which is a powerful statistical tool aimed at statistically quantifying interactions between independent variables through their methodical modifications to determine their impact on the predicted variables.
Tukey’s Honestly Significant Difference (HSD) Test is used after the ANOVA has…[Read more]

What country are you calling from?

You are doing things the right way. But before you start working on your model, I would suggest that you compare the historical data that you have with the historical statistics generated by your existing “in-house forecasting model”. In other words, compare the empirical evidence with what the existing model suggested. If the two are in sync, the…[Read more]

The problem with your book club is that the “participants were selected by the management”. The last time my management selected who should be “six sigma” or not, I was ignored and I was very angry. You know what I did?
I went to study on my own and took tests and became a BB.
A management that selects who should be part of a book club is not p…[Read more]

I went to the Seattle World Conference on quality and Improvement organized by the ASQ that is currently taking place in Seattle. The4 quality of the participants talks for itself. They include such big names as Dr Taguchi, Feigenbaum…
I ony stayed their for two days but boy!!!!
Go for ASQ!

I think that the best certification you can get will not come from the so called consultants but from the ASQ. Visit their site at: http://www.asq.org
 

Reigle Stewart,
I fully agree with you and I do not see any contradiction with what I said.

If Cp < 1, the process is wider than the specifid limits, and is not capable. So why would you want to have a  Cp = 0.5?

How can a process be in control and have too much variations? I can understand that an in-control process can have random variations but “too much variation” rimes better with assignable causes.

You just do not need to pay anybody!

Sam,
Please, just think about it. It is just a methodology that you use to improve your business. whether you call it six sigma or anything else does not matter. Who on earth can make you pay for saying that when you are trying to solve a problem, you define define it first, gather data, measure it, analyze it, improve your process and control…[Read more]

Darth,
Don’t be mad about us converting this forum to French.
Le probleme avec Six Sigma en France est le peu de documentation dans ce domaine en francais. Je vis aux USA mais je voulais participer a l’introduction de Six Sigam dans des pays francophones. J’ai fait beaucoup de recherche mais les resultats sont limites.
Si vous connaissez des…[Read more]

Suresh,
How can you involve your company in something that you do not know?

Vinny,
You really do not believe in paragraphs, do you?

Darth,
When I read your comments yesterday, I said to myself: “he is being mean again”.  But after I read Faceman’s comments (“You’re English is fine “), I said : “What’s going on here” and then I read Also Student’s comments (“I me too want to tank Mr. Mike an uthers for helping studnets like us.  Yu do not now how much time you save us by a…[Read more]

Hey Anshika,
the formula you gave him is not for the USL and the LSL, they are for the UCL and the LCL. There is a difference. Just re read what you said.
