Did it 15 years ago. Seemed to me that unless you are in a heavy manufacturing situation, it's just fluff.
I was in contracts mgmt at the time and part of the assignment was to go with some consultants for the Navy to help implement lean at a very small shop. It was embarrassing to be there and have to watch the owner of the small company shut down his production while his employees sat in a conference room listening to this crap and having them do games making paper airplanes to apply learnings in speeding up the process

That's the problem with six sigma. The approach itself is fine for what it is intended for. All of these companies bastardizing it into this miraculous decision making tool and trying to apply it to every single thing every single employee does is a massive frick up.
