the biggest difficulty facing FLS at the moment is not six sigma or anything else, but the fact that each dept seems to think of it self as the only dept that counts, and the fact that many middle managers feel that they know best, and while openly accepting the ideas and principles of six sigma and the other programs that are running so they can keep thier jobs, they infact disagree with them. Also this theory of cascading information down to the actual sharp end of the buisiness seems very alien to them as i think that see us lowly engineers as people who have difficulty in tying our shoe laces up every morning OH HOW WRONG THEY ARE
