What field was the project in? Can you see the application of the principles taught as transferable across various different fields? Or, as notiger1997 suggested, is the application pretty much based in manufacturing?
The project was a continuous manufacturing process, but just like any quality improvement tool, it can be applied to other processes.
Sounds like it's more about evaluating and refining processes than management. You can have the best process in the world, but if you don't know how to management, you're back to square 1 of having an inefficient system. [/quote]
This is why top management needs to fully understand and support the DMAIC process, otherwise you will just be spinning your wheels, and no one will be happy with the outcome. Most people want to jump right into the measurement step of the process, but my instructors made it clear that the define step should be rigorously implemented for the process to be successful.

LSUtoBOOT - thank you for the analysis; that explains a lot.
Couldn't agree with this more, although this I feel like this was taught early on in business courses. You have to define what your goal is - otherwise, just like you said, you're spinning your wheels and getting nowhere.
