Six-sigma has been discussed on many occasions on degreeinfo.com. But in reading some articles on the "death" of six-sigma (such as this one http://eppicinc.files.wordpress.com/2010/07/the-enterprise-process-performance-improvement-model.pdf) made me wonder how many business degrees teach six-sigma since it is essentially a management process.
My program did, but not in of itself but as a piece of the overall quality management subject. Also it is interesting to note that the PMP exam has a few questions around Six Sigma. As an aside I do not believe there will be a "death" of Six Sigma, but I do believe that the methodology is not fit for use in every business case no matter how hyped it may become or how neato it sounds in business language. Imagine for example where many manufacturing organizations would be without this...especially the automotive industry. It also forces a focus on processes and design as well rather than blaming the production process.
We covered Six Sigma/Lean in a few of my MBA courses, but it was not really central to the core of the program or even those courses. I work in R&D with engineers and scientist so I hear about it quite a bit through them. I have a BPI focus here at work but that is more concerned with big changes to improve processes which can be tough to do unless change is your sole focus. I think what our leadership actually wants is smaller incremental change, more of a Kaizen approach but they keep harping on BPI. Someone should really explain the difference between the two.
