Today, I made the rounds of Six Sigma blogs to know the what the other blogs are saying about Six Sigma, Lean Six Sigma, or other quality strategies.
Over at iSixSigma Blogosphere, Sue Kozlowski plans to write a book, which she will title The 27 Lean Six Sigma Leadership Secrets of Abraham Lincoln: Uniting your organization to a common purpose. Sue shares her remarkable observations of how management and leadership books are titled: some number and, to use her term, leadership-oriented nouns. I say go for it, Sue!
Six Sigma Blog reminds us what Six Sigma is: a disciplined, data-driven approach and methodology for eliminating defects in any process. Failing to understand the concept of Six Sigma, an organization cannot begin to work toward near perfection, or so it says. Well, Six Sigma does not necessarily promise perfection at the end. Instead, it promises continuous improvement. An organization becomes aware of its processes, the defects, and will be on the look out to improve every non-comformant along the way.
Lean Six Sigma Blog poses the questions: Why do Lean Six Sigma consultants continue to deliver training using an inflexible batch method that also carries the highest cost? Shouldn’t Lean Six Sigma methods be used to deliver Lean Six Sigma training? There’s a point there. There is an underlying issue on which method is more effective and less expensive, online or classroom training. Espousing on lean, these trainings should be streamlined (i.e., be lean) to get the most out of one training.
And for some Six Sigma statistics, Quality Hero is giving a sample t-test. It is simply presented and explained that renders the information very useful.
