This aversion allows new players into the industry often times leaving the industry leader under the old mindset, lost, scrambling, or simply, trying to figure out what happened!As Wikipedia brought Encyclopedia Britannica to its knees, as the iPod makes portable CD players second class citizens, so goes the road construction lighting industry.PowershiftThe Powermoon Helimax completely shifts the thinking on lighting for the construction industry.

Although Six Sigma sounds like a distant star in a galaxy far, far away, the term is very easy to explain, once you know sigma is the character in the Greek alphabet that is used in mathematical statistics to identify a standard deviation. A standard deviation is defined by how tightly the various outputs of a process are clustered around the mean in a set of data. In other words, how divergent the outputs are from the statistical average. In statistical terms, Six Sigma means that if there were 1 million opportunities for a defect (defined as anything outside of customer specifications) to occur, no more than 3.4 defects would be permitted, so that the quality of the output is near perfect. As such Six Sigma is seen as the ultimate goal in achieving almost immaculate processes

I come across a fair number of clients who apologize for their companies… “We’re sorry that manufacturing label paste is not the most interesting thing in the world.” Or, “There’s nothing we can do to stand out… we’re in the business of finding cheaper ways to for demolition customers to dump trash. We don’t dump the trash. We just research the cheapest way for them to dump their own trash. It’s really dry stuff.”Yes, neither of these companies is selling gourmet food, creating colorful board games, or packaging imported tea.
