Can I propose Recommendation to improve without data

dear prashanth
yes surely you can do, in fact experience counts
but when you follow a Six Sigma rigor, its improvement methodology based on data and root causes identified based on valid set of figures. this shall be aiming it correctly and shooting the arrow to have almost surity that it will hit the bull’s eye
your gut feel may or may not be the exact solution.
if you have undergone the training (even basics of Six Sigma) then you must be knowing ” everything can be measured, and till we measure we can’t improve”. do a QFD to link your output to measurable inputs and then collect data
and still if you have the same question, i suggest undergo the six sigma training once again …………no pun intended

Prashanth,
The answer is you can do anything you can get away with. The question is should you do it. Someone is paying you to do a job and you aren’t doing it.
If you want to do that kind of stuff and aren’t willing to put in the effort to figure out how to follow the methodology get out of the Six Sigma program and make room for someone who is willing to do the work.
Personally if I were running your deployment you would be gone already. You’re just the same old story, different chapter.
Just my opinion.

Prashanth,
Can I propose Recommendation to improve CP without data analysis?
No! Why would you even consider such a think without proof? Perhaps you are thinking in terms of “quick hits”. But even they require some level of proof via data.
I’m asking this question because i’m unable find precise data or there is no data.
If you can’t find the data. then go get the data. As far as “precise” goes, have you heard of the concept of MSA?
But sometimes i feel that a specific recommendation will work and surely improve the process/product.
All those around you “FEEL” the same thing. The did before you got there and do now. They feel a “specific” recommendation will work. How the heck do you know or they know what will work? By asking this question, you sound as inept as any other decision maker or idea maker. You should have, after your first week of training, know MUCH better than to aske such a question. There are quick hits, but they still require some data to prove. Even if after the fact.
I am sorry if I appear harsh. But you would be a concern if you were one of my students. But please accept my advice, and best of luck on your project and certification.

mike carnell.
you sound as if prior to six sigma people were as idiot and blindfolded as you are now. they never felt the need of experience to take their decision on
you can’t tell upfront to anybody who is new to six sigma that his experience holds no importance, i hope you are not teaching anywhere. anyways i do take your point and have also written the same that one should have some mesaurables for which one should collect data and then proceed since data only can give validity to your assumption and thereby increase your chances of not making an error
hope you don’t collect data in your personal life ?????, just a thought and advice to share with you
enjoy
cheers
 

you got it wrong buddy, seem to be a diciple of mike are you ??? ;-)
cheers

Stan is far from a disciple of mine. He is the one that introduced me to Quality as a profession.

Oxymoron:  Quality as a profession.
Stan is so old he probably introduced Shewhart to control charts.

Mike, keep it up and you too might have your very own J O Club and groupies.

Darth,
I couldn’t take it. I watch you deal with yours and it is like adult day care. You have my most sincere respect.
Normally when I read stuff like this I just go to the bathroom and wash my mouth out to get rid of the rancid taste. Every now and then a person has to call it like you see it. There wasn’t enough mouth wash in the world to fix this garbage masquerading as enlightenment.
Regards
 

Prashanth,
Don’t think anyone answered your second question:  the answer’s still no, don’t do it.  Why would you want to give back all the data-driven gains you implemented in Improve by implementing “improvements” in Control based on gut feel?
(Answer for the rhetorically challenged:  you wouldn’t.)

Stevo,
Close. Usually the quality of advice is pretty subjective. In this case the subjectivity was gone. The complete stupidity of the answer was being camouflaged with cute little sound bites to make it sound enlightened.
In general you got it.
Can you make a quick buck? Of course – there is always a market for style over substance but it is typically a one time shot at that customer and referals are hard to come by. I would rather put my work into the deployment rather than the marketing.
I’ve seen enough of your posts that I don’t think you would be willing to deliver just style.
What is IYHO? Having to ask that can make a person feel old.
Regards

Stevo, unfortunately Mike has many imaginery friends especially after tipping back a few.  Also, as a schizophrenic, he is never without someone so he probably doesn’t need a new virtual buddy.
Of course you can make a lot of money with dogma and BS.  Remember “style above substance” will always rule.  Just keep the engine running and cash all client checks quickly and move the funds to the offshore account..

Last time I checked, neither one of us had room for more than one opinion. Doesn’t leave room for a humble one in addition to your real one.
I personally leave the humble crap to the cowboys who start their introduction with shucks, I’m just an old farm boy from Ohio.
