The Office of the Vice President for Regional External Programs at AUB offered a two-day workshop on Six Sigma, one of the most advanced quality management systems, devised by Jack Welsh, former head of General Electric and perhaps one of the world's best known CEOs.
The workshop was conducted by Mark Palla and Joe Sepulveda, two world renowned experts from the Houston-based American Productivity and Quality Center, from which AUB has obtained formal membership.
The program, funded by USAID, was made available to Lebanon's business community under the auspices of AUB's Center for Business Excellence and sponsored by both REP and the School of Business. Over 75 participants representing 20 companies from various sections of the country took part in this unique workshop, held September 25-26, 2001, at the Gefinor Rotana Hotel.
The September workshop was part of a series on best practices AUB has held over the past six months, including one on e-business which took place on September 27 and 28. Several others are planned for the future.
