can anyone enlighten me about the six point technique, not six sigma

Maybe I'm a bit old but, never heard of it!

I though it was called the Hexagonal Method.

Ah - is it something from the Karma Sutra????

Six pt. tech. is used in the Electrical Fault Finding.

That is all I know.

Check this link to a PdMA Article about Fault Zone Analysis. There are six fault zones in this process, this may be what you are discussing.

Fault Zone Analysis

Use the link at the top of THAT page to get to the individual articles.

Good Luck

I think this is what you are reffering too

So which one is it, the electrical fault finding or generic trouble shooting? Both are 6 points.

I got the idea to add one more additional point to each to become 7 effective steps of electrical fault finding or generic trouble shooting technique as follows:

7th electrical fault is false brinneling of the motor bearings

7th step of trouble shooting: Write a report for knowledge retention and sccumulation.

I hope we get some reaction from M. Jackson on this one, but my vote goes to Alan H.
