i did not rebel too much. i went along with the program.

it is so Dilbertian.

in the 90's it was ISO-9001, in the 00's it was 6-Sigma.

i have seen a grand total of one engineering problem that was solved by proper use of statistics - and that was before 6 Sigma.

i think for many companies, it is seen as a marketing thing. then they can put it in their ads, "ISO-9001 certified".

Agree, so far as being a real help, it is worthless and a waste of time and effort, major time/money witch hunt.

Good people knowing their job, good management that listen to what is said on the shop floor and rewards innovation, that make the product better and the process faster , will trump all statistical mambo jumbo.
