Add You - LEAN or Six Sigma? Which Should My Business Be Using?
Business negotiation in China can be very a frustrating exercise for western business executives. The Chinese business culture and deliberate style of negotiation is vastly different from the more direct western approach.It is easy to lose perspective and patience and ultimately fail in reaching the desired agreement.European and American business men and women are accustomed to a straight-forward style of negotiation.

Looking at a process or system to decide which approach to use isn’t always black and white. A lot depends on the culture of the organisation and what type of data is available.
Organisations that are driven by objectivity and have many Key Performance Indicators (KPI’s) will often find more comfort in the Six Sigma approach. This is a result of the perception that it is more “scientific” as it appears to be complex because of the statistical tools that can be applied. Those companies that are more subjective and intuitive feel more comfortable with the LEAN approach. To them, it seems less daunting as it does not rely on high order statistics in analyzing situations and tends to focus on team activities and employee engagement in solving problems.

Do you know what to expect when applying for a new job? Most job seekers are under the impression that employers only check the references listed on your resume or application. This is an inherently false assumption. A recent People Search News article reported that more than 80% of all business now performs comprehensive background checks on all potential employees, compared to less than half that number 10 years ago. Also, the size

In their professional education, nurses will study a range of interconnected subjects which can be applied to the practice setting.

The company had so many

Every where you look you see someone advertising data entry jobs. Unfortunately because there are so many people looking for work from home data entry jobs, scam artists prey on this. After all, job seekers looking for data entry jobs are an easy mark.I know that sounds cold but it's the truth. I speak from my own experience because data entry at home jobs was the only type of work I wanted initially too. What's not to love ab
Often people describe continuous improvement programs as a journey. If we consider the LEAN journey then I would say that Six Sigma can be used as a stop-over along the way. For instance, an organisation on the LEAN journey finds that it has a specific problem with yield in a particular department or a specific piece of equipment then area is a likely candidate for a Six Sigma project. This means that the organisation can still proceed under the LEAN umbrella but acknowledge that there is a specific activity that can benefit from the Six Sigma approach. To make things easier it may also be beneficial to engage an expert in Six Sigma for that activity so that the organisation maintains their LEAN focus.
Similarly, those undertaking a whole of business approach using Six Sigma as the process improvement vehicle can find that as part of the Improve phase there are opportunities to implement LEAN approaches. For instance, a manufacturing operation that uses Six Sigma finds that there is a high degree of variability in the setup and changeover times for equipment in various departments. Analysis sh
