Continuous improvement is driven by the execution of carefully selected projects.
The goal of the Six Sigma approach is to take small steps forward and no steps back. IEC Director of Six Sigma, Dr. Ronald Pratt, is a General Electric trained and certified Black Belt with over 15 major Six Sigma projects under his belt. He was trained by GE while an employee of IEC through a supplier involvement initiative. As a result, IEC s Six Sigma program is tailored loosely around GE s own Six Sigma initiative with some important distinctions. IEC maintains a Six Sigma Steering Committee that selects projects, identifies team leaders or Black Belts , allocates resources to the projects, monitors projects and reviews training requirements.
