Leading Saudi consultancy and independent experts to address the Middle East Six Sigma Forum

"We will address the very important issues of adaptation, application and implementation of Six Sigma methodologies within the existing framework of TQM", says Allen Mackay, who is recognised as an international Six Sigma expert. He adds: "Getting started in Six Sigma requires detailed planning and support of management and we have therefore also prepared a full day workshop on best practice Six Sigma implementation."

Initially developed for manufacturing, Six Sigma involves controlling, measuring and improving processes in order to build products free of any kind of defects. Technically, Six Sigma means a product defect rate of 3.4 parts per million.

For some regional companies, Six Sigma has become the most important initiative for change and is considered one of the most potent strategies ever developed to accelerate improvements in processes, products and services and to radically reduce costs and improve quality.

"Many regional organisations have utilised the past two years as an opportunity to gain competitive advantage through Six Sigma implementation," says Barth de Ridder, Executive Director of IIR Conferences. "Benefits from the application of Six Sigma multiply beyond the results of specific process improvements."

At the Middle East Six Sigma Forum, top Six Sigma professionals will reveal how Six Sigma has been implemented at top organisations. This forum is a must to accomplish an enterprise-wide strategy with transcendental results. It will present practical applications and live experiences that will help participants understand how Six Sigma can start or continue to drive performance in organisations.
