The SixSig Roundup
Posted by: meikah | 26 October 2008 | 8:14 pm
It’s time for some link-loving and see what other blogs are saying about Six Sigma, Lean, Lean Six Sigma and other quality improvement processes.
Safety Culture shares an overview of Basic Lean Six Sigma Training Tools And Techniques. The overview is useful and a timely reminder.
Fresh Web Content says that (Six) Sigma data collection requires asking the correct questions. True! And this is achieved through DMAIC.
Over at Healthcare Transformation, Dr. Healthcare shares how QFD contributes to the success of Lean Six Sigma in healthcare. The value of QFD in healthcare is that it has the VOC component in it. Go over and read the discussion. It’s a very useful tip.
Lean Blog reacts to a post that says allowing blog comments is waste or “muda” according to Lean standards. The blog claims that “it’s waste for the blogger to have to deal with the problems that come from comments — spam, insults, and general crap.” Well, it really takes time to go through comments, but then there’s a good plugin for spam comments. For me, reading comments from readers are also sources of new learning.
Lean Six Sigma Academy shares a rather touching story, which was on Evolving Excellence blog. Kevin of Evolving Excellence lost a colleague, which helped him come to the realization that “authentic continuous improvement should be focused on the person.” In other words, any improvement effort should give consideration to the team members and their capacity to do the work, yet still take care of their families.
Good links worthe checking out!

SixSig Celebrates Independence Day!
Posted by: meikah | 12 June 2008 | 2:53 am
Today is Independence Day in the Philippines!
I cannot allow this day to end without greeting my fellow Filipinos Happy Freedom Day!
Freedom, like love, is the most abused and confused word in the dictionary. Many people confuse freedom as being free to do what they and want when they want.
It may sound like a cliche, but with freedom comes great responsibility. For every action and decision and even aspiration you make, there are consequences that you have to deal with. Noone exists in a vacuum. Each one is affected and influenced by the other.
With freedom comes great sacrifice. You cannot possibly allow something to happen if the greater majority would suffer from it in the end.
With freedom comes selflessness. You put the welfare of others before your own. You cannot espouse freedom yet coerce others to follow your twisted plans.
With freedom comes great joy. When you’re conscience is clean, you can sleep well at night and be joyful the next day.
With freedom comes great love. Because you can love, you are overflowing with care and sympathy for your fellowmen.
With freedom comes great service. You come not to be served but to serve. Service to humanity is the best work of life.
