Global competition, "Supply Chain Management", virtual business over the Web, outsourcing partnerships, and the necessity to adapt to a challenging economy, have battered many companies to the brink of non-existence. Time waits for no one, and only those organizations best adapted to these changing conditions survive in this new world of business. From the optimization of operational efficiencies, to shorter cycle time, to value-added partnerships with premier customers, the philosophy and application of the principles that underlie Dr. Harrington's organizational focused methods are morphing the very nature and culture of the organizations in which we work. And, you now have the opportunity to rise to the head of your company with a Certified Master Black Belt in Six Sigma Quality.

A full week of training, Monday thru Friday, 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM with one hour for lunch, those who attend this program find the effort well worth the time invested. Dr. Harrington perfected the Six Sigma approach to focus on the entire organization, and when striving for organizational excellence each Six Sigma role must contribute to the total effort every day
