“This list is obviously a joke. TXT at Number 5???? TXT is all smoke and mirrors and drinks nothing but their own bath water. Bell Helicopters Six Sigma program is a joke and not one "Lean Accelerator" has worked. The ones that were dones at EZ GO and Fluid & Power, have failed miserably and the ones at Bell and Lycoming are destined for failure as well. The other BU's, including TFC, struggle with the most basic concepts. Their lean deployment is so overblown it's not even funny. People are more concerned with being Bronze, Gold, Platnium, Super Platinum, Super Duper Titanium...they could care less about lean concepts. Like I said, if TXT is #5, I’d hate to see the companies ranked 6 and below. They must have gorillas running the place.”
