TCA SIX SIGMA PROGRAM

In today's global economy, staying competitive demands innovative thinking. It
requires a clear and consistent approach to quality improvement. To improve productivity
- and the bottom line - companies must integrate process improvement
programs into every aspect of their business.

Six Sigma is a proven approach to delivering close to flawless products and services.
In a Six Sigma company, problems and goals are operationally defined and problem
analysis and solutions are data-driven. It's an approach that leads to results - both
now and in the future.

For over 23 years Technical Change Associates (TCA) has worked with organizations
like yours to enhance performance and accelerate growth. Our Six Sigma Program is just one more way we're helping to build some of America's best companies.

Repair data sources, remove bad data and transfer data to new areas from
existing legacy systems.

Minimize waste, delays and labor - drastically reducing work in progress
and improving machine productivity.

Accelerate the development of new products and services using statistical
tolerancing and advanced analysis tools.
