About the tutor

I’m a US born (and US resident) Lean Six Sigma Master Black Belt, Business Transformation Executive, Organizational Change Architect, consultant, author, and an IASSC Accredited Training Associate. My PhD is in Industrial-Organizational psychology; and my MBA is in Finance. I have led global operations for Fortune 500 organizations and been an executive leader within the Human Resources space.

Currently I am a Professor of Organizational Psychology and Change Management, teaching MBA students.

I have used Six Sigma all over the world, for Fortune 500 organizations, including the United States Federal Government, and even for professional sports teams.

Through the application of Six Sigma, I have helped save companies significant amounts of money, enhance the customer experience, and even make athletes faster and stronger.

What is Six Sigma?

Six Sigma is a set of techniques and tools for process improvement. It was introduced by engineer Bill Smith while working at Motorola in 1986. Jack Welch made it central to his business strategy at General Electric in 1995. Today it is used in many industrial sectors.

Six Sigma seeks to improve the quality of the output of a process by identifying and removing the causes of defects and minimizing variability in manufacturing and business processes. It uses a set of quality management methods, mainly empirical, statistical methods, and creates a special infrastructure of people within the organization, who are experts in these methods. Each Six Sigma project carried out within an organization follows a defined sequence of steps and has specific value targets, for example: reduce process cycle time, reduce pollution, reduce costs, increase customer satisfaction, and increase profits.

The term Six Sigma originated from terminology associated with statistical modeling of manufacturing processes. The maturity of a manufacturing process can be described by a sigma rating indicating its yield or the percentage of defect-free products it creates. A six sigma process is one in which 99.99966% of all opportunities to produce some feature of a part are statistically expected to be free of defects (3.4 defective features per million opportunities). Motorola set a goal of “six sigma” for all of its manufacturing operations, and this goal became a by-word for the management and engineering practices used to achieve it.

Hudson is proud to be an IASSC Accredited Training Organisation.
