eSmarter Blog: Do
Economists Breed Greed and Guile? – Issues and Resolution.
In the
article “Do
Economists Breed Greed and Guile?” it was stated
that one business school root problem was that too many are
infected with assumptions that reinforce and bring out the
worst in human-beings. It was stated that the logic and discipline
of economics usually rules the roost at business schools.
The article statesRead

Board
of Directors’ Risk Accountability in the Current Economic
Conditions.
Written
by Forrest W. Breyfogle, III
Consider
the following questions relative to the board of directors’
responsibility and risk assessment
- What
risk management measures should boards consider as they
seek survival and to continue growth?
- Should
the board of directors be held responsible in expending
the skill and diligence in the fulfillment of its duties?
Without
providing a framework for the board of directors, executives,
or anybody else to follow leads too much to chance and the
dynamics and expertise group individuals. Just saying we are
holding people accountable can lead to Read

Control charting - process based rather than product based.
Written
by Rick Haynes |
I was
asked a question about how to chart the performance to a specification
for 20 different products that use the same measurement but
the minimum specification and the target for the measurement
change for each product.
This is
always a tough question. The first thought is to make 20 charts
and 20 capability analysis, but this is aRead

Process Stability - what to do if it is not stable / predictable.
Written
by Rick Haynes |
Nearly all lean six sigma programs tell
you to check for process stability before estimating capability.
Sounds good but is not always easy.
Why do we care? If the process is unstable
(unpredictable) why would we want to use the data to estimate
anything. Future performance or the capability of a lot of
things.
If you
had the opportunity to take one of our belt classes you would
understand how the choice of the control chart and the subgrouping
method changes the decision on stability. Every control charting
method provides a different view of the process. When you
understand Read

| Monte-Carlo
Simulation: An underutilized Lean Six Sigma Tool.
|
The
stereotypical Lean Six Sigma DMAIC project has a nice
process that produces data at a rapid enough rate that
you can evaluate improvements during the project, but
what options do you have if that is not the case? Using
Monte-Carlo simulations can be a powerful way to estimate
future performance without having to actually pilot test
or prototype the improvements. Read

Control
and Grow your Enterprise: The Right Business Measurements
and Controls Benefit the Whole Company
|
The
Enterprise process DMAIC roadmap provides a 21st century
governance system that truly aligns scorecards, strategic
planning, improvement plans, and control so that the enterprise
as a whole benefits. E-DMAIC goes beyond Lean Six Sigma
and the Balanced Scorecard. This view of the way a company
functions can change from a focus on doing whatever it
takes to meet the quarterly financial goals (the Enron
approach) to improving performance at all levels so the
overall output always reflects the maximum potential for
an entire enterprise. Read
