Reality CheckParticipant@Reality-CheckInclude @Reality-Check in your post and this person will
be notified via email.Thank you, Bob. It is scary to see so much emphasis on 6Sigma as a basis for making sound investment decisions. Also there is a lot of misinformation about the S&P 500, which is a group of 500 US companies that are chosen because they satisfy a strict set of requirements. Such requirements include having more that $4 billion in capitalization, and financial viability as measured by earnings.
Lots of companies have been added to the S&P 500 because they are smartly run with good products, marketing and operational controls.
I can understand why companies would implement 6Sigma as a way to improve quality control and increase efficiency in their operations, but at best it is only one criterion that I would consider before allocating my hard-earned money.
It’s best to keep the chatter about investing to forums designed for that and concentrate here on the dynamics of 6Sigma.

be notified via email.Wait NASA is a Six Sigma company? lol Considering NASAs current rate they are at a Sigma Level (z) of slightly better than 2. That equates to about 130841 defects(deaths) per million Missions!! They have a long way to go lol. Just using the fact that 14 people have died in space over 107 shuttle mission. lol

Lanita TidwellParticipant@Lanita-TidwellInclude @Lanita-Tidwell in your post and this person will
be notified via email.I happen to be looking for the same information and I know that there are automotive companies that have used the Six Sigma methodology. I think that General Motors was the first, and since, Lear Corporation and Ford Motor Company have adopted this as well.

Were you doing a lot of thinking about this or did you just not notice you were responding to a 5 year old post?

Zero_Cool0November 16, 2006 at 3:41 am #147309I’ve noticed most of you are very poor spellers and even worse writers. For all the hype surrounding Six Sigma, I’m not impressed. If most of you spoke they way you wrote, we’d be in a world of hurt.
I think anyone has the right to question a system that is so hyper-focused on the problem and not the solution. It’s really easy to jump on board a ship because everyone else is doing it, but not so easy to think and act independently. Look at all the neat tools and articles you’ve all written…how about getting out of analysis paralysis and thinking on your own….move away from the computer, stop having so many meetings…summarize the situation, look at its history, and make a choice.

Popcorn’s ready!0November 16, 2006 at 9:33 am #147323Lee,
I agree with you and support, what you have suggested.
Monk0December 15, 2006 at 6:29 pm #149084If that is your view, why are you on this website????? I am looking for helpful info on SS….not to hear from people who do not even use it! Don’t you have something better to do?
0December 15, 2006 at 8:52 pm #149095Big mistake. As Dilbert points out, SS companies trail the S&P.
0March 14, 2007 at 1:06 pm #153297As opposed to debaing in the forum, you time coud be spent actually which companies have implementd six Sigma methodologies.
For instance you are on the sixsigma web page, one of if not the, leading source for Six Sigma information and products.
Take some time to look at the companies that are advertised on here and then you will be able to grasp which companies are doing what.
Then, depending on your industry, you know which companies are using the Six Sigma and Lean methodologies.
And, Dupont happen to have Don Linsenmen as a Six Sigma Champion, and if they have someone as smart as him, i don’t think anybody is in a position to be ridiculing the company!!!0May 1, 2007 at 8:10 am #155531Nrtwork Rail

be notified via email.The Quality Digest Magazine regularly publishes list of companies using Six Sigma, Vendors that provide e-learning, companies that specialize in gages, the list goes on and on. Every month the magizine picks a new category to slice and dice useful networking information into various topics. Check it out.
Steven Bonacorsi0September 18, 2007 at 4:43 pm #161346Gud explanation. Looks realistic.
0October 23, 2007 at 12:39 pm #163563kevin,
were you able to aqcuire a list of six sigma companies in canada or the US? if so, can you share the list please?0December 17, 2009 at 12:22 pm #187606I know I am a little :-) behind on this article, but I agree James. It seemed like the article you are referencing is focused on Six Sigma always producing a six sigma process. The bottome line is the defect rate or sigma level of a process is based on what the customer is willing to pay. If they are ok with a 2 sigma process, then it is successful. The article just emphasizes the lack of researh and understanding of what the methodology is all about.
