Six Sigma and the Health of Healthcare
Feb 28, 2025 · original
Every business, regardless of size or industry, could improve on some level on its effectiveness as well as its efficiency. For the healthcare industry, this is imperative! Healthcare is important to all of us. We like to believe that not only are we being cured of our ailment, but that our healthcare provider really does care about us. If it is our loved one that is being affected, we’d like to believe that the healthcare provider did everything within their power to save or improve their quality of life. On the other hand, the healthcare provider has to deal with operating costs, government control of health insurance reimbursements, rising malpractice lawsuits, among other financial issues. It is safe to assume that rising healthcare costs isn’t all the fault of the economy; some of those costs could be attributed to the providers not being as efficient and effective as they could be.

Self-Improvement Means Creating a Process to Achieve Things
Feb 28, 2025 · original
I read a provocative quote the other in a Fortune article on Tony Robbins. Now, I know what you’re thinking – “what is Pete doing talking about Tony Robbins?” I’m with you. But, regardless of what you think of him, it’s hard to argue with his success, influence, and the sheer mind-numbing common-sense of his message that, for some reason, is hard to grasp by many. Which is also why he’s created a massive cottage industry and mass followers. But never mind all of that. I want to talk about one quote that, at least for our purpose today, makes a ton of sense. I know that I’m inferior to everybody in some way. You may be a better singer than I am or more centered in some ways. But I also know that I’m superior to you in something else. I know how to create a process to achieve things, and I never, ever give up. That makes us equal. fda The post Self-Improvement Means Creating a Process to A

Streamlining Your Customer Service Experience There’s always a lot that can be done to provide a faster, more adequate customer service to your clients. You may not even realize that you have any problems on that front, especially if you aren’t tracking the right metrics. But at the end of the day, providing a good service is not something that people see as a bonus tacked on to their initial purchase it’s become a fundamental requirement in the eyes of many consumers.

Are KPIs Important to Six Sigma?
Feb 28, 2025 · original
The core of Six Sigma is reducing and/or eliminating waste or defects through process improvement. Beyond the initial process improvement efforts, it is about ensuring that standards are set in place that ensures that processes are perpetually improved.

How Can Six Sigma Help Marketers?
Feb 28, 2025 · original
Any organization that sells products and services needs to communicate the value of its offerings to the target market. It is up to marketers to not only help the organization reach potential customers but convince them the offerings will provide the value they are looking for. That way, the customers will purchase the offering and the organization will make revenue. To help organizations become profitable, marketers often launch campaigns to reel in potential customers. But sometimes this process can run into problems, which can lead to the expected return on investment (ROI) not being realized. In Six Sigma, the marketers are said to have experienced variation. This is a mismatch between what was expected and what has occurred. In the face of variation, it is reasonable to ask what the cause is and how it can be resolved. Luckily, Six Sigma can help marketers get to the bottom of varia

Feb 28, 2025 · original
Muda means waste and refers to a wide range of non-value-adding activities; eliminating waste is the key to efficiency.
