Early this month till mid month, we see Six Sigma practitioners assume important positions in big companies. Their doing so is hoped to make a difference–the Six Sigma advantage, that is–in their respective companies.
Last July 3, HTNG announced the appointment of Thomas Peck and Todd Thompson to Board of Directors. Hotel Technology Next Generation is a self-funded NGO that facilitates the development of next-generation, customer-centric technologies to better meet the needs of the global hotel community. Peck is a certified Six Sigma Master Black Belt, and has graduated from several of GE’s executive training programs, and is a published author. Thompson has years in experience in business process engineering among others.
In July 9, Blue Square Energy (BSE), a developer and manufacturer of high-performance silicon solar cells, announced that Alan Swanson is the new VP of Manufacturing Operations. Swanson has more than 25 years experience as a global manufacturing operations executive. As an expert in the Six Sigma methodology, he helped create Tyco Electronics’ Operational Excellence Organization.
