Recognition:

Historically speaking, Six Sigma has evolved from a quality improvement tool in the mid 1980’s to a fact-driven system of business management in the 2000’s. Over the last 20 years there have been many events and contributions that have shaped Six Sigma. Even today, the evolution of Six Sigma continues – growing in both power and diversity, throughout the world. The purpose of this section is to provide recognition of those individuals who played a key role in this evolution:
