Posted by: meikah | 24 May 2009 | 9:19 pm
It’s time again for some link-loving and see what other blogs are saying about Six Sigma, Lean, Lean Six Sigma and other quality improvement processes.
Anak Melayu shares a secret, and that for sometime now, he has been applying Six Sigma in his daily activities. He is even tempted to call it Sha Sigma. 
Library Excellence Blog announces how the Los Alaminos National Laboratory Research Library won the Baldridge Award. How does understanding and using the Malcolm Baldrige criteria impact library organizational change?
Six Sigma Green Belt blog tells us that Six Sigma is more than just number crunching. The numbers can be tempting but Six Sigma is more than a data-capturing, number-crunching process. It is a philosophy and a methodology; it is a way of looking at business and a way of doing business processes.
Over at The Lean Thinker, Mark says that before embarking on trying to solve the problem, know first what is the problem. What is the evidence of the problem?
Learning about Lean shares what is called the structural waste. I’m sure many of you can related with his frustration on having to buy two dome lights, when you need only one each time.
