One thing I want to say here is that Quality product is priceless. Sometimes we cant count what money saved if Quality product satisfy a customer is more than enough. Six sigma implementation is costly affair itself need lot of determination and attention. In business world people always compare OUTPUT cost with INPUT cost to have profit. In most Industry 6S not required at all they run with 3 S is enough. To bring up to 3S is actually money paid and even worth doing it (Six sigma Project). So this debate will going on whether we saved enough with 6S project or not? being BB we should not focus on what money saved by 6S project, it always to strike balance between INPUT vs OUTPUT. And yeah I agree glorifying anything beyond some extent is not good even incase of six sigma also. and hence we should always scrutinize the claim we made about savings. Ultimately its CUSTOMER who decide business is paying attention to Quality or not.
