Maybe this will help: In Okinawa, belt mean no need rope to hold up pants.” I worked at a company that instittuted 6sigma "Faster than anyone has before" This particular company had over 60,000 employees so it was an achievement. At first it was only for projects and processes where a noticeable return could be accomplished. Before long, 6 sigma was running everything, even things that weren't processes or new projects. Further, the first 2 waves of blackbelts got a bonus based on the savings of their project. After wave 2 that incentive was cut. You still got the extra workload, just without the bonus :)
