T.I.M.
Thanks for the interesting ! info re; the six sigma sites. I have had a look at some of them. Its all stupid words, but still seems a lot of commen sense to me. Why do a lot of things to get a job done if you can do it in less. (I'm not talking about cutting corners) Just because we have been doing it that way for years, is there a better way, or as engineers, do we think it is the best way?
At my place, the management have suggested that we know what's wrong and what to buy to permanently fix it, so why dont we offer the suggestions rather than a manager who would probably get it wrong. The manager then approves it (if budgets allow)and in more cases than others, it has been succesfull. Mind you, it wasn't CI or six sigma, just seems reasonable man-management.
