The Total Quality Method I would like to write about this week is Six Sigma.

Data talks; first get some output metrics (Ys) on the process. Collecting this will help to show the extent of the problem and then use it to get management attention. I suggest quantifying the process outputs and what it costs the company to continue in the same process. Make sure to show the variation and not just the mean, make the assumption that this will be non-normally distributed. From this make a simple cost-of-poor-quality calculation based on the company's investment...
