I used to be an ACE deployement manager since 2005 and have been able to record significant business results, as a result.
ACE is a Pratt version of Six Sigma and I was wondering if anyone had made some analysis comparing the pros and cons of ACE versus Six Sigma or other Improvement initiatives.0March 12, 2008 at 3:45 pm #59289

0July 9, 2008 at 9:11 pm #59396I was interested in a comparison of ACE and Six Sigma as well. I found the following thesis by an MIT business student:

Very informative piece of information.
Hope it would be possible to read the whole content of the thesis report.

JosephineParticipant@JosephineInclude @Josephine in your post and this person will

Dawit for posing this question and Kurt for finding this thesis. I think I have the correct order.
A company I am preparing a strategic plan for is interested in adopting a Six Sigma approach however many manufacturing companies employ a Lean approach. Who would have known of ACE? Six Sigma may be less appropriate than a Lean approach but now there is the ACE approach to consider as well.
There are many “lean” approaches out there and until researching the “Sikorsky Gold Standard” and its requirements, I would not have put 2 + 2 together. With all these acronyms, it is hard to keep it together.
Thank you for shortening research time.
