TKG, I would be interested in learning more about your mentoring system.  Thanks!

Thank you very much for the advice.We were looking at it as one big problem. However, as both of you state partitioning the problem into manageable pieces would be a better approach. Some times the trees block the forest.

Jasi,
Can you expand on what “attrition rate” means?  And what do you mean by “staffing for attrition”?  I’ve done a little searching on the interenet but can’t find a good definition for this context.
Thanks. 

Article found.

I was searching the iSixSigma forum to look for benchmarking data on Health, Safety, and Environmental labor spending by medium sized Chemical companies — Don’t know if you are still in the Safety area, or if you may be able to help me find out what other companies spend on HSE services.

Thanks Norbert, please send to me at this address, then if I have questions I will reply to you from my work address… or you can call me if it is convenient.  I am in Tennessee, USA.  423 -229 – 8944, and I will give you my work email over the phone.  Email for now is

Thanks, I have sent email

Thanks John, I am in Tennessee, my phone is 423-229-8944.

Just did a search on A/R and hit this question you had back in Feb ’03.  If you have completed this project, I would be interested in what your findings and learnings were, as well as your success if any, as I am starting a project on the same thing.

I am working on a Six Sigma project to get customers to pay on time.  This sounds very much like the project you are doing.  I am still in the Measure phase and am now looking at how to collect data and where.  I would be very interested in knowing more about your project, i.e. what were the Y’s that you looked at and what you found to be the sig…[Read more]

I would like to get some of the games from you also. Thank you.

Hello,
Your situation is not unique and occurs in so many companies.  To have the price increases come in at different times of the year is difficult for the person who is responsible to get the voucher approved especially in this tight margin atmosphere.  Many debits and credits may also be occurring in your system by different people!! 
It is…[Read more]

I love the idea of an “elevator speech”.  I’ve encountered that situation quite a few times.  I think my responses are either too long-winded (in those cases I actually see their eyes glaze over) or too vague (they think, lets get out of here fast before she goes into more detail.)  We’re just starting our program and I really need to inspire peop…[Read more]

I have to agree. Getting the CMM, ISO or simply the processes defined and in place are a pre-requisite.  True, Six Sigma can be used to do this, however, if you are talking about making a culture shift, you need to get the processes in place.  This is extremely important if management is expecting to see quick results.  Taking the Six Sigma ap…[Read more]

I’m also developing a MBA these about Six sigma. If you don’t mind I would like to know more about your academic material. I’m in Brazil,  there is any thing available by internet?
thanks a lot

I cannot help with your question, but you might be able to help me.

We have been using SAP for some years now but one of our biggest problems is that we do no work in real time. In addition,it…[Read more]

Total Units = 70 x 18 = 1,260 total greens
Opportunities per Unit = 2 putts

Total defects = 1 (or is it 70 x 1 = 70)?
Dave,
It all depends on how you define the opportunity and defects, but I think you are on the right track. If you are defining a defect as anytime a golfer over puts (over 2) on a green, the opportunities are 1,260 (as…[Read more]
