A recent iSixSigma Discussion Forum thread posed the following question: "Have there been any Six Sigma deployments that have failed?" （最近iSixSigma的论坛上的一篇帖子提出了如下问题：“有没有已经失败的推行6 Sigma的案例？”） My answer is ambiguous enough to make me sound like a politician.（我的回答有些暧昧以致听起来我像个政客。） The question immediately begs definition of the term "failure." （这个问题直接地要求对“失败”这个词下一个定义。） My definition of a failure would be anything that does not deliver the Return On Investment (ROI) required by the company for any other investment. （我对失败的定义是任何不能带来公司所要求的投资回报的情况。） Using this definition, I am not aware of any deployment that has been a failure. （按照这一定义，我还不知道有任何已经失败的推行6 Sigma的案例。） It is also necessary to understand that once a company has invested the money and resources to do a multi-year Six Sigma deployment and made it public (typically through the annual report), it is highly unlikely they will step forward and admit they could not execute, regardless of the outcome.（同时还必须明白，一旦一个公司已经投入资金和资源来进行数年的6 Sigma推广，并且已经公开这种推广（通常通过年度报告），他们就不大可能走回头路并且承认他们不能执行下去，不管后果如何。）
