The link roundup is back and I’m giving it another name, The SixSig Roundup. Why the new name? I will now be linking to other equally relevant quality news aside from Six Sigma and Lean Six Sigma.

So, join me as I go ’round the blogosphere!

In my previous post, I shared the interview of Executive Suite with Textron CEO Lewis Campbell. Michael Marx of SixSigmaCompanies.com also shared the interview in his blog. He put emphasis on doing better or continuous improvement.

As the blog talks about supply chain and parts, and inventory, I am reminded by The Goal.
