Six Sigma for Small Business
It is not surprising that some people may perceive Six Sigma as being only for large corporations. Major corporations such as Allied Signal, Black & Decker, Dow Chemical, Dupont, Federal Express, General Electric, Johnson and Johnson, Kodak, Motorola, Sony, and Toshiba have all rolled out Six Sigma efforts and achieved outstanding results. Yet, it is incorrect to think that Six Sigma process improvement results can only be achieved by huge organizations.

Your Finances
Your FinancesBy Terry RiggWhich category do you fall in?I have determined that financially, people fall into one of three categories.1. Family 1 has all the money they need for necessities and more and manage it very well.2. Family 2 has all the money they need for necessities and more but live payday to payday with ever increasing debt.3. Family 3 don't have enough money for necessities.The funny thing about the three families above is that they could have exactly the same income and family size. This is not to say that special circumstances has nothing to do with it, but on the average most people live above their means.Family 1 has established a workable budget.
They don't pay more than they can afford for housing, transportation, utilities, etc. They also have money set aside for long and short term savings. This short term savings provides two things. First, it makes money available when the car breaks down, you need a new washer or any number of unexpected expenses that...
