The UK government wants Britain to be a globally competitive manufacturing force, and with the economic crisis it’s not going to be easy. However, they saw an ally with Six Sigma.
An article on Business Cornwall says that last year:
MAS helped ten Companies and 15 associated business projects unlock over £1.5 million through two Six Sigma ‘Greenbelt’ training programmes, encouraging manufacturers to adopt proven techniques to cut down waste, remove process variation, reduce scrap and production lead times as well as improve stock levels.
I commend them for doing this. By going Six Sigma, they may have a bigger chance of staying afloat in this economic downturn.
