  \textbf{  Six-Sigma  } 
\end{center}

\noindent


Six-Sigma(6$\sigma$) has emerged as a leading tool for achieving 
unprecedented quality and productivity goals in all sectors of 
the industry, financial, and government agencies throughout the 
world. We give a brief introduction on what 6$\sigma$ means to 
the industry and how it is implemented. Different types of 
6$\sigma$ as well as their challenges shall be discussed. Some 
successful implementation within the industry will be sited. 
Some speculations on the future of 6$\sigma$ will also be presented.

Dr. Sadri Khalessi is a visiting professor at the Department of 
Statistics, Stanford University. He teaches nonparametric statistics, 
Bootstrapping, and multivariate statistics.

Khalessi has over twenty years of industry and management experience 
mainly in semiconductors and equipment manufacturing. Most recently 
he has been the global vice president of ABB, a large European 
engineering firm based in Zurich with \$25B in annual revenues.
