3.0 out of 5 stars Is Dean Stamatis a convert?, March 19, 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Six Sigma Fundamentals: A Complete Introduction to the System, Methods, and Tools (Paperback)
Dean Stamatis has been known for his opposition to Six Sigma. The following are direct quotes from a paper that he wrote in Quality Digest:

"We don't need the Six Sigma methodology to improve efficiency and productivity in our products; rather, we need to stop issuing "letters of deviation" and "waivers" from our specifications (especially at the product submittal warrant stage)."

"We don't need the Six Sigma methodology to improve throughput and timing. Rather, we need to stick to the milestones of timing and follow the guidelines of APQP. We need management's commitment for consistency and concern for improvement."

"We don't need the Six Sigma methodology for transactional problems such as paying suppliers within 90 days to 120 days; rather, we need to recognize that suppliers have to be paid on timely basis."

So Dean did you really convert, or is this a convenient book to cash in on Six Sigma's popularity?
