DALLAS, June 16, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) -- George Group Consulting announced today that it will be a co-sponsor of Lean Six Sigma China Summit 2006, the largest and most comprehensive Lean Six Sigma event ever presented in China, held June 20-21, 2006 at the InterContinental Pudong hotel in Shanghai. The conference will bring together leading thinkers, consultants and Lean Six Sigma practitioners from Fortune 500 companies to discuss best practices and share vital strategic information and insights on integrating Lean Production principles and Six Sigma across the enterprise to achieve operational excellence.
In addition to sponsoring the two-day event, George Group's Director of Marketing, John Hubbs will be speaking to the conference's general assembly about the linkage between process excellence and financial performance in a presentation entitled "Effectively Merging Lean and Six Sigma Approaches to Maximize Profitability." His presentation will share how forward thinking companies are using Lean Six Sigma and other related George Group methodologies to improve performance in areas such as operational excellence, business strategy, innovation and growth.
"In this highly competitive, high-growth market, more and more companies are finding that Lean Six Sigma can provide them with a proven approach and roadmap for achieving operational excellence -- including higher quality, better reliability, superior productivity, faster time-to-market and lower operational costs," said Hubbs. "As the world leader in Lean Six Sigma service deployments and applications across more than 54 countries, including China, we look forward to sharing best practices and helping conference participants understand how to apply Lean Six Sigma in their organizations, overcome barriers to deployment and achieve fast results."
