Six Sigma Signals Savings

yes, the 6sigma is a very important way of management in mordern enterprise not only in medical manufactures. of cause there are other ways to make enterprises very efficient and save man power and money in their rproduce processing.

In fact almost every scaled entreprise would set up their ERPII system. Its very interesting topic in the room and its also a huge topic and cannt speak in a word.

any one else like to continue to discuss the system? I know usa has lots of the software and our domestic developed many as well. its a hot and hit.

Yes six sigma and leanproduction are wounder tools as far manafacturing is concerned But what happens when it comes to marketing and balancing margins in $terms&Voice of customer and voice of Bisiness ,the way human nature puts on faceades and the way Stakeholders forcast compeneies future leads to desasters and kills the creativety of the R&D of the compeney. .

CRM

I am so thoroughly biased I should disqualify myself from this thread.

Six Sigma left to manufacturing or engineering CAN be a useful tool. That was my happy noise. Six Sigma in MOST implimentations has been so thoroughly mis-applied, bent, re-engineered, dumbed-down, re-constructed for marketing/management/IT/and the bean counters as to be an incredibly expensive waste. Not so happy.

More not happy - Almost every technique used in SS is in the tool box of the various disciplines of engineering. A proper team (if needed) or individual would produce nearly the same result in less time and fewer meetings spent explaining statistics yet again.

Now should you not have a manufacturing or process engineer hanging around (and if you are a manufacturer you probably should) the solution to this lack is NOT to bring your entire organization to a halt while you train everyone from the kitchen staff to Human Resources in statistical analysis. Hire a damned engineer.

Sorry - I'll qualify this by stating my former employer produced incredibly expensive avionics components in tiny batches under contract to the customer's requirements (which closed after delivery usually) almost entirely composed of software.

Anybody see a problem? Anybody see a problem that requires a multi-million dollar solution that results in empowering the janitor to want to supervise coding and debugging?

Every example our consultant trainers brought us involved a billion light bulbs and the savings to be achieved.

We didn't make a million lines of code - probably didn't produce a million characters per build and Tom having an off day had more to do with productivity than any other factor.

We eventually learned that embracing the spirit and processes of DO-178B cleaned up the difficulties as best we could manage when trying to write code without requirements, defined hardware, or decent systems analysis and architecture.

And then we absented our group from further nonsense - especially when we all sat in class KNOWING that the profit margins were already obscene on any scale. This was later compounded by the gross and wholesale abuse of the H1B visa system under a bit of chicanery called training visits.

The solution for most of managements problems are cured by the elimination of decently paid specialists - unfortunately not their highly paid consultants, but the moderately paid engineers. Manpower is engineering firms number 1 cost and they are steadily trying to chip away at it.

Hadn't meant to turn this into a rant, and I apologize for those I might have inadvertantly offended by my remarks.

management specialists and engineers are always contradiction in producing practice.

especially in a small firm. the erpii can be implement well alt least at more than 200 staffs in a corperation.

ours is smaller one, so there is neednt nay special management staff.

management by ourself! do all by yourself.

it seems rare pepole out there interested in the management in factory. however, its imporatnt for produce more good products.
