2nd Lean Six Sigma Symposium
September 26, 2008
at Cultural Center Theatre
Hofstra University, Hempstead, NY 11549

Sponsored by American Society for Quality Long Island Section and Hofstra University

Long Island Section 0303
Frank G. Zarb School of Business
Dept. of Information Technology and Quantitative Methods
The 2nd ASQ-LI Lean Six-sigma symposium will be held at Hofstra University’s Cultural Center Theater on September 26, 2008 from 8:30AM to 2:30PM (please visit us at www.asqlongisland.org for more details). The cost for attending the symposium is $100; a continental breakfast and lunch are included.

Lean Six Sigma, with its focus on sustainability via improved process efficiency and economic profit, encourages executive management to prioritize improvement projects based on metrics that recognize the alignment of stakeholder needs and corporate priorities as defined by an organization’s top management.

The symposium is expected to provide our members and corporate associates with useful information on strategies adopted by practicing Lean Six-Sigma professionals to achieve successful process and quality improvements.

The format of the symposium allows success stories to be presented by ASQ Certified Six Sigma Black Belts, and Practicing Black Belts on strategies and tools used to realize LSS implementation and concomitant bottom-line improvements in Health Care, Process, Manufacturing, and Service industries, including government. The planned topics are:

Topic #1: The Lean Six Sigma Improvement Process by Owen Ramsay, BS, MS, CQE, CMQ-OE, CSSBB

Topic #2: A Lean 5S application to an Administrative (HR) Department by Kerry Donelan, BA, MBA, CSSBB

Topic #3: Lean techniques applied to Reduce Turn-around-time and Cost of testing at a Laboratory by Meegan Dowling, BS, CSSBB

Topic #4: A Lean Sigma application in a Non-manufacturing Environment by Joe Labas, BS, MS, CSSBB

Topic #5: Lean Six Sigma to a Semi-autonomous Government Service Organization by Owen Ramsay, CQE, CQM, CSSBB

Topic #6: Value Stream Mapping fundamentals – a fun filled activity by Carlyle Crothers, PE, SSBB

Since most of the members attending this symposium are practicing quality professionals, the case studies presented will hopefully give each an insight on how to better guide and support their organization’s efforts on their Lean Six-Sigma journey.

Please join us at Hofstra University’s Cultural Center Theater on September 26th at 8:00 am for the Continental breakfast prior to commencing the symposium.
