Efficiency Unleashed: Breaking Down Lean and Six Sigma
06/02/2025 | Marcy LaRont, PCB007 MagazineAs a child in the late 1970s, I lived in Fremont, California, near the GM automotive manufacturing plant. At the time, GM had a terrible reputation for producing poor quality cars that were dwindling in popularity. I toured the GM plant while in elementary school. Each child received a pair of safety glasses before our group was escorted around the plant with our teacher. I remember seeing the car pieces on the line, and workers using blow torches to assemble the car together.
