The 4th Annual Design for Six Sigma Conference

9-11 February 2009, Las Vegas, USA

Based on the enormous success of WCBF’s Six Sigma event series to date,it is expected that this will be the largest senior-level conference to focus on Design for Six Sigma implementation. Nowhere else will you find such an exceptional array of speakers and organizations willing to share their experience with you.

If you plan on attending just one Design for Six Sigma conference, then this is the one to select. WCBF currently averages over 100+ senior-level attendees at its Six Sigma Conferences. This is the highest number of senior-level attendees per a Six Sigma niche focussed conference than any other organization.

As more and more organizations have embraced Lean Six Sigma, they have come to realize that there are huge cost savings to be made during the design and development phases of new products and services. Knowing when to use the right tools throughout every stage of the product and service lifecycle is critical if a competitive advantage is to be achieved.

This unique conference addresses the high level, forward-thinking issues regarding the role and future of DFSS for achieving process excellence and encouraging innovation in product development.
