I was at a heavy equipment company that was sold on 6 Sigma. It was so bad. So much quality theater. Teams were culled of their “high potential” employees, who were sent off to become black belts and lead random projects with fancy story boards and amazing $$$ saved charts. I think it honestly was what seeded my departure a few years later.
- OldGuyInTheClub 3y agoWe had a Six Sigma "Program Office" that sent out pompous announcements whenever a Black Belt got his/her wings. They tried to make it sound like Top Gun. These elite and best-of-the-best would empower the project squadrons to victory over defects. Somehow the projects didn't feel like diverting people and budget to makework tasks that fit the Six Sigma model as opposed to their reality. It eventually faded to be replaced by other codswallop.
