If the tools that you are using suck ass.....

You have the perfect Six Sigma project. Create new tools/processes that suck ass less.

Anyone who thinks Six Sigma is a real and useful tool, is a tool.

Heh.

I've been lucky to avoid the 6 Sigma projects so far. A couple people in my team are on various projects with weekly sessions that are 8 freaking hours long. After 2 hours of listening to the Blackbelts babble on about various measurements and blah blah blah intake blah blah blah design...they are ready to stick a pencil through their eye.

I swear sometimes we spend 5000 hours of design, measurement, ect to save 5 minutes worth of work.

They beat off to it where I work... all the managers are black belts. In fact, I'm pretty sure that's all it takes to be a manager.

In a perfect world it would help I believe. But in a perfect world communism works.
