Six Sigma methodology probably does not match with their culture and because of that they don't use it.

I must admit to that coming from a quality background I tend to look at sources of variation, in processes, systems, methods, materials, measurements, people, etc first, even before I think about "waste". Perhaps I'm wrong in doing this but to me eliminating waste on a chronically unstable process will potentially cause more problems then it solves. Stabilise first - perhaps I'm wrong?
