Management 2.0: Discovery of Integrated Enterprise Excellence

Too often process enhancements occur in silos where there is little positive impact on the big picture

(Citius Publishing: Austin, TX) -- Everyone should be aware that organizations need to improve and adapt to survive. Because of this aspiration, a business may undertake a process improvement program such as lean or Six Sigma; however, often, these process improvement program undertakings are not long-lasting.

The reason for this occurrence is that, when leadership undertakes a program self-assessment, they often find that they cannot see a tangible big-picture positive financial impact from the conducted process improvement program’s efforts. Far too often, process enhancements from an improvement program occur in silos, where there is little if any positive impact on the big picture.

Six Sigma Stupidity

Mr Breyfogle advocates Six Sigma (with or without "Lean" tacked on)

Six Sigma is a destructive scam based on pure farce. It was created by psychologist, Mikel Harry. Harry claimed that all processes drift by +/-1.5 sigma, every 50 measurements, making them wildly out-of-control and unpredictable. It is hence impossible for a Six Sigma process to produce quality product, no matter where specification limits are set. Harry based his ludicrous claim on the height of a stack of discs!

Perhaps Mr Breyfogle can explain why he believes Harry's stack of discs, makes all processes wildly out of control?

Harry later admitted to the Six Sigma farce in his "Shifty Business" article.

EVERY aspect of Six Sigma is as worthless as its laughable foundations.

Dr Wheeler, the world’s leading process statistician, calls Six Sigma “GOOFY” and equates belief in the trash, to belief in tooth fairy. CBS calls it the most stupid fad of all time.

Of the 58 large companies that announced Six Sigma programs, 91 percent have trailed the S&P 500 since. Six Sigma destroyed its once best reference GE ... before they tossed the trash out.

Why do people turn their backs on the great men of QUALITY: Professor Deming, Professor Lewis, Professor Ishikawa, Dr Shewhart and Dr Wheeler, for the lunacy of psychologist/salesman Mikel Harry.

Please read my papers exposing the Six Sigma scam:

Breyfogle's Position on Six Sigma

Dr. Burns,

I have never been a proponent of the Six Sigma metric that has +/- 1.5 sigma shift!

Also, my position relative to Six Sigma and Lean implementations is that there are major problems!

I highlight these issues in this book and show what should be done to resolve these issues.
