| Tiivistelmä: | Many people claim that Six Sigma is not useful in research. For instance, in a recent Quality Digest article, Dick Dusharme quoted author and quality consultant Thomas Pyzdek as stating that he would never apply Six Sigma to research because it would kill creativity. The experienced R&D leaders who participated in the Industrial Research Institute's "Six Sigma in R&D" Workshop last March would likely disagree with Pyzdek. They shared demonstrated results from use of Six Sigma and Design for Six Sigma (DFSS) in R&D. They told us how they taught Six Sigma concepts to R&D technical staff, guided R&D's participation in corporate initiatives, and implemented Six Sigma without spending a fortune on relatively little-used tools. |
