I'm not sure what Kathleen is looking for. She said her Six Sigma
greenbelt project was to fix the help...not COULD it be, but that it
was. If it is the project, then it needs to be done according to the
Six Sigma guidelines.
If she's looking for any old solution, then it isn't a Six Sigma
project and whether any of the proposed solutions will work or not is
a crapshoot.
