GE Six Sigma Leader Becomes Nortel Exec: Via Nortel: Nortel Appoints New Global Supply Chain and Quality Leader
Implementing Six Sigma, Executive Strategy, Methodology, experience and results: "Six Sigma has become a small cottage industry. This industry is overpopulated with trainers. It is amazing how all the providers claim to have implemented Six Sigma at Allied Signal, GE, Bombardier, Sony, and etc. The truth is anyone who was a Black Belt for 6-months, scheduled a conference room, or made a presentation takes the liberty to claim responsibility."
Vai domain-B : The Six Sigma Primer: "Interestingly, GE proved that Six Sigma was not just for manufacturing, also applying it with success to GE Capital. In the first year, Six Sigma saved GE $170 million for a $200 million investment; in year two savings were $700 million for a $400 million investment."
Business Leader: Best Practices: Mastering Six Sigma Excellence: "Six Sigma is a sophisticated quality program created by Motorola in the 1980's and perfected by General Electric (GE) during the past five years. The initiative is a highly involved measurement device of production defects per one million operations. While it was originally intended to serve as a manufacturing process, several top companies have transitioned its role to focus on virtually all service-related transactions."
