Description:

Let us put ‘Six Sigma’ aside for the moment. Instead, let us reflect on some

real-life scenarios in a number of quite different organizations.

Take the machine shop whose machines are not exactly new. They have great

difficulty meeting the tolerances and are continually pressed to meet almost

impossible delivery dates in the presence of varying degrees of unscheduled

scrap and rework and the corresponding high levels of inspection and

re-inspection. Profit margins are low, even when things are going relatively well

and negative when they do not. Then there is the foundry that makes overhead

cam manifolds for the motor vehicle industry
