eSmarter Blog: Can
New Regulation Stop Another Madoff?
Written by Forrest W. Breyfogle, III
The
creation of Sarbanes Oxley (SOX) was for the purpose of establishing
a financial control mechanism, which resulted from the Enron-type
fiascos that occurred at the turn of the century. However
this system (i.e., SOX) did not prevent the occurrence of
our current financial problems. It seems that SOX answered
the wrong question – perhaps to the third decimal place,
especially given the cost associated with SOX implementation.
For the current financial crisis, we need to[...] Read

of General Motors, Troy Clarke, Letter and Response from Gregory
Knox – Issues and Resolution
Written
by Forrest W. Breyfogle, III
In companies,
current business systems can easily create destructive behaviors,
as we are now experiencing. Current business management systems
of goal setting and building strategies often lead to playing
games to meet these financial-awarded-incentive-goal-numbers.
This form of management can be considered as management by
hope. The letter below from Troy Clarke, president of General
Motors, and response from Gregory Knox brings up more issues
and we invite you to read their phenomenal responses. Read

Y
= f(X)
Written
by Rick Haynes |
Another
way to recognize a Lean Six Sigma program that has “dumbed”
it down can be found in the y=f(x). Every program talks about
it as a concept, but they fail to really tell you how to do
it. If you come into it with a strong math or statistics background
you can [...] Read

Common Issues with Performance Indices

Measurement
issues can be prevalent at all levels of an organization.
To add to this dilemma, the basic calculation and presentation
of metrics can sometimes be deceiving. Organizations often
state that suppliers must meet process capability objectives,
typically measured in Cp, Cpk, Pp and Ppk. To resolve
these issues, practitioners need a common, easy-to-use
fundamental measurement for making process stability and
capability assessments at all levels of a business, independent
of who is making the assessment – something beyond
Cp, Cpk, Pp and Ppk. Read
