six sigma IQ, producers of the world’s leading Six Sigma conferences, have just announced that Tom Johnstone, the CEO of SKF, will be the honoured keynote at 2006’s European Six Sigma Summit.

SKF, the world’s leading supplier of products, customer solutions, and services in the business of rolling bearings and seals, adopted Six Sigma to meet and exceed constantly increasing customer demands. Using Six Sigma as a major part of its continuous improvement toolkit, SKF has achieved excellence in all its new and existing processes.

Carol James, Event Director of six sigma IQ, said, “We are absolutely delighted that Tom will be speaking this year. SKF is just the right sort of example people should be showing to their own team to say ‘This is what Six Sigma can do for you’. After Jack Welch spoke last year, Tom can now give the audience a current view from a CEO who is actively involved in Six Sigma in his own company”

The European Six Sigma Summit will be held in Amsterdam on 24th – 27th October 2006. For more information, email enquire@sixsigmaiq.com or visit www.sixsigmasummit/2591a
