The DMADV Methodology
The DMADV methodology can not be better explained than by comparing it with DMAIC methodology despite their fundamental differences. Take for example, the case of a traveling salesman who convinces a customer to buy at the best price.

The salesman now remembers that nowadays, more and more customers are demanding that their shipments volumes be reduced when packaged.Now, the packaging department has a problem on their hands wh

In only a few weeks, Chuck Conaway went from relief to indicted. Last month Conaway had been absolved of bad management by a panel of judges. However Federal securities regulators have now charged Conaway and former chief financial officer, John McDonald, of financial fraud.

The regulators claim the pair misled investors about the company’s financial condition in the months leading up to the bankruptcy.

In the months prior to the bankruptcy, Conaway and McDonald were steadfast in their claim that the company was financially sound. In addition to weekly reassurances delivered by voice mail to all employees, the company provided misinformation to the vendor base and stake-holders.

The SEC charges are specific to the financial report issued for the third quarter and nine months ended Oct. 31, 2001. This was the last financial report issued prior to the company's bankruptcy filing.

The SEC charges were a confirmation to the stake-holders who pension plans and careers and to vendors that settled for pennies on the dollar, causing some of the vendors to file bankruptcy themselves.

Even before the third quarter results were released, employees and stake-holders were questioning the stability of the company. Both Conaway and McDonald were aware of those accusations. They either failed to investigate them or they outright lied about them.

Customer Service Mistakes Can Be Entrepreneurial Opportunities!
I called Domino’s Pizza the other night as I was watching the USC-Notre Dame game on the tube.Expecting to get exactly what I had purchased twice during the past three weeks, I quickly dialed the phone and recited my order:“I’ll have the three medium pizzas with unlimited ingredients.

McDonald were aware of those accusations. They either failed to investigate them or they outright lied about them.

In the case of Conaway and McDonald, the stake-holders were saying, "We are seeing things that are causing great concern." By checking into the rumors and gossip empathetically, the two leaders would have found deep problems needing swift and decisive attention.
