Sigma Workshop Highlights
The “IRI
Six Sigma Workshop was one of the most useful meetings/conferences I
have been to in my 30 year” career. - Harvey S.
Gold, CR&D Six Sigma and Design for Six Sigma Master Black
Belt, E. I. DuPont De Nemours And Company
This was the fifth in a series
of Six Sigma in R&D Workshops structured to investigate and access
the impact and benefits that Six Sigma, Design for Six Sigma, TRIZ, and
other improvement approaches bring to industrial R&D
organizations.
More than 100 technical,
managerial and executive R&D professionals from the Pacific Rim,
Europe and the Americas attended.
Participants said that the Six Sigma Workshop provided them with
valuable background on and insight into the deployment, value and impact
of improved R&D methods.
The Workshop gave
participants an opportunity to learn and discuss new ways to improve the
conduct and effectiveness of R&D. A
planned sequence of tutorials, plenary sessions, a poster session and
breakout sessions provided the most effective forum for discussing and
learning, as well as creating, shared insights for quality
improvement.
The Workshop was organized for
both the Six Sigma beginner and seasoned Black Belts.
