Lean Thinker shows us the value of catching an error before it is too late. There are three levels when talking about mistake-proofing: “prevent the error from happening in the first place; detect an error as it is being made and immediately stops the process (and alerts the operator) before a defect is actually produced; detect a defect after it has occured, and stops the process so that the situation can be corrected before any more can be made.”
Over at Spercus, Peter Peterka tells us why Six Sigma will work in service environments. “The core principles of Six Sigma allow it to cost-effectively translate manufacturing-oriented Six Sigma tools into the service delivery process.”
