Today, let’s do the rounds of blogs that talk about Lean, Six Sigma, and other quality management strategies.
Let’s start with The Sixth Sigma, which I recently discovered. It features IBM and the company’s move to go lean has nothing to do with its streamlining of workforce. Well, that should be the case, for Lean is more than just laying off employees. The essence of lean is the continuous pursuit of waste elimination.
Over at Lean Six Sigma Academy, Ron is calling all bloggers or Six Sigma practitioners who want to share their insights on Lean Manufacturing, Six Sigma, and other continuous improvements, to be guest bloggers at LSSA. Good idea, Ron!
Rob Thompson of Lean Sigma, which is now Learn Sigma emphasizing on the lean + six sigma formula, shares how Sony has screwed up lean methods: “God help you if you need a new screw for your Sony stuff: Sony charges 61 Euros (more than $82) for a replacement.”
Then Mike Wroblewski of Got Boondoggle? shared an amusing yet informative incident during their Kaizen event. Kaizen is yet another interesting quality strategy.
These are interesting insights that could help your continuous improvements now. Check out the blogs!
