NEW YORK . . . Achieving the goals of a Six Sigma improvement initiative -- drastically improving the bottom line by designing and monitoring everyday business activities in ways that minimize waste and resources while increasing customer satisfaction -- is not an easy task.

Michalski with Dana G. King, a powerful resource is available not only for teams, but for managers, trainers, industrial engineers and quality professionals anywhere on their Six Sigma initiative.
