I'm a big fan of Fault Feedback Ratio. I tried to introduce that to a Six Sigma program I was consulting with and they told me that data was "irrelevant." I'm mystified.

Are any of you involved in Six Sigma stuff? What are your thoughts on the comment "Mostly, the numbers are not worth the sweat put into them." and Meadows reasons for saying so? Is Six Sigma concerned with measuring time to feedback? I am only partway through the article and had to solicit more comments.
