Is Six Sigma a Fad only for the Big Guys?

Over ten years old.....I don't think so. But, maybe, I am biased.

It is so clear to me. But, Reinhold questions the validity of the methodology as it applies to small organizations (which comprises majority of business America). He challenged me with a thought that Six Sigma is only for big guys to which I retorted, the small players are using the approach without realizing so. I thought about this. The solution seems to be to stop using the methodology terminology or figure out a way to do the translation.

Interesting though, as I tried to do this, there is nothing in what I wrote that is new or revolutionary. In fact, as I had explained to Reinhold, the words are a way of branding the methodology as a process in itself. There is obviously more work there. But, I'm writing this down as I intend to expound on this thought in the book.

For now, I am trying to write my problem statement, the premise of the book. I am trying to narrow down the audience I will be catering to....
