I know. It's exhausting just reading about it, but apparently this is a must in certain industries and spreading like a plaque. Believe it or not, I heard the training is a little fun. :lol: There's really no right or wrong answers.

Yep. That's the paragraph that did it. :lolabove:

You know that Motorola no longer has the best track record. ;-) They're the kings of defects and errors; marketing.

Almost.

My daughter is a Six Sigma. She earned her belt while at Sandestin. Great program and she did have lots of fun. Traveled to lots of the Intrawest properties teaching and learning.

I was in the program at Delta and quit. It was a joke. You could make anything a Six Sigma project and get certified for doing the lamest things ever.

On the other hand, I probably should have done it because despite how lame the certification process can be made to be it does have industry recognition.

I could get a black belt certification just as easily, and that's just sad...

Almost.

Ow, my head hurts.

Ow, my head hurts.

I tried to warn ya. :idontno:

I know, but I can't pass up a link unclicked.

damm...I thought this was about sick fish....guess that would be Betas.

this whole thing is waaaaay over my head :idontno:

I only read the first part but it Looks like they took "Total Quality Management" and "ISO9000" used in manufacturing to include all types of business. Is that right?

Six Sigma's? Anyone have their belts? Experiences.............?

Green belt. And that's all I want. Projects are too time consuming.
