Six of the best

Pera Integrated Training has launched a new service in six sigma training and consultancy for all those companies which want to eradicate waste and eliminate errors in their service delivery and manufacturing process. The six sigma service, which promises a dramatic impact on bottom line profitability, is being led by Pera consultant Eng Tian Soon, a Master Black Belt in this methodology, who has assisted in some of the highest profile six sigma programmes in the world with organisations such as Sony, General Electric and Allied Signal. According to Eng, six sigma is not another management fad: "GE's Jack Welch called six sigma the most important initiative that the company undertook. He attributed a 40 percent increase in operating margin to six sigma and many companies which implement this method achieve a threefold return on their investment within one year. Companies which are looking for ways to achieve breakthrough performance will clearly want to take a thorough look at six sigma."

Pera is launching the programme with a seminar on 26 February 2002 entitled "What is six sigma?" This seminar is targeted at business leaders, enabling them to get to grips with six sigma and helping them to assess whether it is appropriate for their organisation.
