Amandeep,So you are concerned that people who trained on Six Sigma didn’t pay enough attention ……yadda yadda yadda because they won’t get a good capability analysis. Very magnanimous. When was the last time you fixed anything with a Capability Study? You must be one of those people who loves to attend ASQ meetings and craps all over every…[Read more]

Gary,
He gave me his phone number three times. Not even a break in between and it was slower each time. You just want to say “I got it” but I was afraid he was going to make me repeat it three more times. Now I say hello and work on something else.
The physicist, is that Papa Smurf?
I think you guys have a mutual admiration society going on.…[Read more]

Gary,
I have only met him a couple times. He repeats everything several times. No wonder they all pass they get the class three or four times in the time everyone else gets it once.

It rains to much in Seattle.
I was in Frankfurt last year but I have never worked there. I liked Frankfurt. It was very clean.

Stubborn! I would never have guessed.
267 with one failure that has to be some kind of a record.
Lebowski

Gary,
I am told you have passed each section of the CQE in less than one hour and you have coached about 200 people through the test with only one person failing. Pretty impressive.
Lebowski

sophos9,
Ah you are familiar with my body of work. Not you average bowler. I drink my beer with my little finger sticking out and they say there are no more heros.
Lebowski

You are a CQE and a CRE! Pretty impressive. You don’t find that many of those around.
Lebowski

Gary,
He says he passed the CQE to prove he could do it then let it expire because he didn’t want to be associated with that group and he didn’t want to take any s__t from CQE’s for not taking the test.
Now I have to take s__t because he had the right Gary.
Time to go bowling.

sophos9,
Wives? That by itself is amazing. The generosity of women never ceases to amaze me.

Gary,
Someone just told me, assuming that they know which Gary out of all the Garys in the world you are, that you were a CQE and past President of an ASQ Chapter. Sorry, that wasn’t meant to be personal.
They also told me that they could count the number a competant CQE’s they had ever worked with on one hand and you were one of them, same a…[Read more]

There is that George Group attitude. It had to show up sooner or later.
Lebowski

Gary,
They are like the old CQE’s lots of training, been around for years, no business impact. Black Belts show up and move the business forward and create value and the statisticians and CQE’s sit on the sidelines making their little caustic comments but they still won’t move their butts and get in the game. I guess they would rather be…[Read more]

Cute joke……,
A C makes me average and cute also. Life is good.
Time to go bowling.

Heebeegeebee,
Nice job. This person seems to be pretty impressed with deep statistical training.
Do you know what a statistician is? A person who did not have enough personality to be an accountant.
Lebowski

Pendulum,
I could not agree more on the value of Black Belt that is the product of a deployment. The issue with ASQ is that they had a model that failed to be valued by the customer base. When they decided to get into the certification business they only slightly modified that process. People are now turning to this organization to produce Black…[Read more]

accrington,
It is very difficult to believe that there is a company in this world that would retain this person to sweep floors let alone consult on something. At this point it is only his word that says he was employed as a consultant. He has not established any type of cause and effect link between his presence and the winning of the award.

VinodK,
This site has created a special consulting section for Six Sigma services in India and we still have to look at this post a couple times per day. Have you no ability yo do anything for yourself?

sumit,
Now you have the idea. Make sure you understand which one is cheapest so you know where to get your certification. I would have to believe that the metric that Benchmark is the cheapest and that they conduct the most classes across India has to have have some kind of cause and effect relationship.
Since those two factors resulted in your…[Read more]

Kathleen,
Of course they want you to outsource it. They make money if you outsource it to them. If you have any sense at all you will terminate them today for such a self serving answer. With that little integrity you need to figure out how you hired them in the first place.
Once you have certified Black Belts they should begin to assume the…[Read more]
