Almost every profession includes clueless practitioners.
The tools in Six Sigma are not easy to understand and not easy to learn to apply correctly and well. I would say that a significant percentage of black belts are people chosen by their companies for political reasons, and simply not qualified intellectually to be black belts.
But just as I don't condemn guns for the actions of criminals, I also don't throw out Six Sigma because it's applied poorly by some people.
I agree with much of that.
My concern is with mucking with the military.
Do you know how we ended up with these Chinese parts in our military systems?
Smart people forced us to buy from the lowest bidder.
Smart people forced us to contract with minority run company’s.
Smart people forced is to use Female owned company’s.
I am not dinging minorities or women, what I am pointing out is that the smart people force us to jump through ridiculous PC hoops and care nothing about the end product.
