		<description><![CDATA[In Six Sigma, we are very focused on the Voice of the Customer and creating Value for the customer. But getting our arms around this thing value is not real easy. In fact, I believe that it is this constant changing of what is of value that keeps all Quality folks employed. You see, over time, customers change and what they think is of value changes as well.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In Excel there is a function [NPV(rate,value1,value2, ...)] to calculate NPV, but this formula can be misleading if you do not understand what it is doing. The function help on this function explains it all be rarely do we read these unless we really don’t know what goes where. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This paper will examine the application of Total Quality Management (TQM) to the later stages of a project. Statistical Process Control (SPC) and how Quality Function Deployment (QFD) and Design Of Experiments (DOE) help implement SPC will be looked at closely. The goal of the project is to develop a factory to build high-rate, low-cost microwave hybrids for the aerospace, automotive, and defense industry .QFD helped get the project off the ground; now other TQM tools are being used to help win the follow-on contract.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As practitioners of Six Sigma you may have caught this, but there are two important elements that the NFL talks have missed and I feel will lead to poor results or none at all. These two important elements are the concept of Customer Value, or some may say “stakeholder” value. Second is the concept of Teamwork. This second one I would think they would get since Football is a “Team” sport, but maybe not.]]></description>
