(ASQ: Milwaukee) -- As organizations continue to look for ways to eliminate waste and improve the bottom line to survive the current economy, lean and Six Sigma continue to be an important part of their business plan.

Professionals will have an opportunity to enhance their skills at the American Society for Quality’s (ASQ) 10th annual Lean and Six Sigma Conference.

The power of lean and Six Sigma is evident by the billions of dollars organizations have trimmed by implementing these tools.

The 2010 Lean and Six Sigma Conference will be held March 8–9, in Phoenix, at the Pointe Hilton Tapatio Cliffs Hotel. This year’s theme is “Delivering Global Value and Excellence Through Lean and Six Sigma.”

Focus areas include: Increased Global Value; Delivering Excellence; Technical/Statistical Tools; Cost, Waste, Defect Reduction; Responding to a Global Economy; and 21st Century Issues Through Social Responsibility.
