I have compiled quotes for Six Sigma beginners and my comments are in green. Feel free to change the green text and use wherever you like. However, the black text is protected by the wise men who developed them. Here you go.. "It's better to be prepared for an opportunity and not have one, than to have an opportunity and not be prepared" - Whitney Young Jr *There is no better way to prepare than to learn the world best techniques in decision making "It does not matter where you are coming from. All that matters is where you are going" - Brian Tracy *Chances are - you may not be going anywhere with the old ways. "The right place and the right time is here and now" - Michelle Ustaszeski *Absolutely! "The more you seek security, the less of it you have, but the more you seek opportunity, the more likely it is that you will achieve the security you desire" - Brian Tracy *Taking this further - when you succeed with one opportunity, you get loads of them. "It is not necessary to change. Survival is not mandatory" - W. Edwards Deming *Bow. "The greater the difficulty the more glory in surmounting it. Skilful pilots gain their reputation from storms and tempests." - Epictetus *The BHAG is what you need. The big hairy audacious goals. Do not set unless you are prepared well to tackle them. "Big jobs go to the men who prove their ability to outgrow small ones." - Ralph Waldo Emerson *Undoubtedly "Your life changes the moment you make a new, congruent, and committed decision." - Robbins, Anthony *Make it now "Without a sense of urgency, desire loses its value." - Jim Rohn *Do it now "If you are not willing to risk the unusual, you will have to settle for the ordinary"- Jim Rohn "You must take personal responsibility. You cannot change the circumstances, the seasons, or the wind, but you can change yourself. That is something you have charge of." - Jim Rohn *Rohn says same thing in so many ways "We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them." - Albert Einstein *Change the thought process. Welcome to the Six Sigma world. "The larger the island of knowledge, the longer the shoreline of wonder." - Ralph W. Sockman *After so many years with these techniques the wonders have not ended for me yet "Intellectuals solve problems; geniuses prevent them." - Albert Einstein *I can only take a bow on this. "First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win." - Mahatma Gandhi *You need to ensure that the first three stages do not get extended too much "One that desires to excel should endeavor in those things that are in themselves most excellent." - Epictetus *Get all the ammunition that is excellent in itself. Even if you miss a few goals, it will not matter. As the jackpots you hit shall reap great rewards for you.

We created a survey in 2009 and ran it for some time. I thought it is a good idea to make it live again to gather more responses. The objective of the survey is mentioned in the heading of this post. If you wish to participate, the survey link is here - http://www.surveygizmo.com/s/153419/six-sigma-career-growth-survey If you wish to see results, the links are here. People who have undergone training recently responded as - Click here to see the report People who went through Six Sigma training and applied it partly responded as - Click here to see the report Experienced Six Sigma professional responded as - Click here to see this report These reports get updated as people fill up more surveys using the link at the top. Feel free to discuss more on this subject by replying to this post.

Agreed Arup. Another example - If I use a simple mistake proofing device like a electronic shut down circuit that does not allow high voltage to affect my costly electronic device, I have used common sense and affected zero defect. Here, I have not used Six Sigma methodology but used one of the concepts (many people use such a concept). I may have used Six Sigma philosophy or concept but cannot (should not) be called a Six Sigma practitioner on the virtue of the performance excellence achieved.

If the p value is higher than the acceptable type I error, it only means that you do not have enough evidence to be able to reject null hypothesis. It really does not mean that null is true. Those who have not studied hypothesis tests, shall not be able to touch the topic (well, this is understandable). However, those who have gone through a Green Belt or a Black training may like to discuss and comment here. Please feel free to explain with example.

Two major occasions - You fail miserably. Your competitor succeeds spectacularly. It looks to me that the second reason has bigger and profound impact on individuals and groups - even more than the first one. Have a look at this article for a research paper on the subject. Feel free to air your views.

A new feature is at concept stage. If implemented, this shall lead to candidate search by employers with filters based on recency of certificate, completion of improvement assignments, projects, level attained, etc. The shortlisted candidates shall be emailed the job description with reply directed to employer. The concept is based on large number of requests by employers who wish to shortlist candidates rather than post jobs. Suggestions welcome.

Six Sigma qualification and skill-set is the most useful single program that prepares a candidate for a cross functional shift. As the techniques are same across industry sectors, it also helps in cross - industry shift. I have seen hundreds of professionals shifting industry and function (aided by SIx Sigma competence) which would otherwise be considered impossible.

The best use I have come across in a large scale ERP implementation is - Carrying out the ERP implementation as a DMADV project. Some of the ORACLE teams have been doing this. Hope this helps. You may like to go through the following topic as well - https://www.benchmarksixsigma.com/forum/topic/35176-common-mistakes-while-implementing-erp/?tab=comments#comment-45882

Most of the textbook definitions of Six Sigma talk about Six Sigma being a strategy, methodology, metric, philosophy etc. There is another definition that I use in my training programs frequently. Lean Six Sigma provides you with world best methods of data driven decision making. If you are working in an organization or running a business, it is inevitable that you shall need to use data in decision making. Some pointers that highlight the importance of data driven decision making are given below. Even if one uses brainstorming techniques with teams, one can generate and use data.The use of basic cause-effect approaches for analysis like fishbone diagram get strengthened only by effective use of data.All functions in an organization generate data of various kinds. It makes sense to learn correct methods and techniques that help in decision making for business success.Analysis of wastes in a process requires data (like cycle times, takt times, value added time, non value added time, productivity, etc)Finding whether internal/ customer requirements (or regulatory requirments) are met requires data driven techniques like hypothesis testing.Forecasting methods are essentially a set of data driven techniques.Comparison of two or more sets of data( for comparing vendors, technology, techniques, materials, processes, customer types, teams etc) is a common need.Market research or R&D makes us of data all the time.Problem Solving is strengthened by usage of data.Project Management requires data driven decisions.Performance management cannot be considered fair unless data is capured, analyzed and used properly.To get more ideas on how Lean Six Sigma is useful in a specific Industry or Functional area, please make use of tags present at the top right section (found after clicking on forum tab above).

Vishwadeep Khatri replied to Vishwadeep Khatri's topic in Applicability in Services other than IT/ITESHi Manpreet, Good to see your question. Stock replenishment is a key challenge in retail supply chains. In case you are facing such a challenge, you can learn Six sigma techniques to address this challenge. Going into details of stock replenishment issues, the challenge faced by each business is somewhat unique. The budget constraints and specifics vary a lot. If there is no easy solution in sight, a Six sigma expert along with a person having subject matter knowledge can try several management techniques to find the solution. The 'thrill' of a six sigma project exists purely because the solution is unknown and can be found only after significant study has been done with the right kind of data being captured. It is risky many times to jump to a gut- feel based solution instead of data driven decision making. Also, a gut feel decision may not be the most cost effective solution and a trial and error approach may be very costly for business to try several times. Welcome to the world of Six Sigma! You can explore other topics or go to website (using link at the top ), take contact details from there and talk to a Marketing Manager.

Hi Sachin, The answer is YES. Six Sigma techniques can be used in many ways for objectives mentioned by you. These challenges may be converted to SIx Sigma projects as well if they meet the criteria explained at http://forum.benchma...-sigma-project/ If you have a specific situation to discuss, please share here for further inputs.

Vishwadeep Khatri replied to Vishwadeep Khatri's topic in Applicability in Services other than IT/ITESA pain area needs to be identified that is suitable for Six Sigma application. Please have a look at "What is Six Sigma?" section for this.
