Five Uyemura associates recently completed Six Sigma Black Belt training. Lean Six Sigma Black Belts have been awarded to Don Gudeczauskas, April Labonte, Chris Carrillo, Jose Garcia and Scott Larson for demonstrating a thorough understanding of the Six Sigma Body of Knowledge and comprehension of Six Sigma philosophies and principles.
Black Belt Certification also reflects an understanding of team leadership and team dynamics, knowledge of lean enterprise concepts, and the skills to quickly identify “non-value-added” activities. The training was conducted by Six Sigma Master Black Belt, Dr. Pat Valentine.
Lean Six Sigma strives to increase process speeds, eliminate wastes, and reduce defects through a problem-solving framework of “DMAIC” – Defining, Measuring, Analyzing, Improving and Controlling processes.

This week, I used my super sleuthing skills to select news and articles that are both driven by numbers and themes. Let’s see if my selection matches up with yours. We know our readers are opening our daily and weekly newsletters, scanning the important news of the day. The numbers tell me that. But it’s the content within those clicks that help me lock in on a clear line of thought. This week, the topic of the week: investments.

I recently spoke with PCB Technologies’ Jeff De Serrano, Yaniv Maydar, and Alon Menache about their new venture, InPack. They explain their plans to focus on advanced packaging, miniaturization, and other high-end technology, with much faster time to market, and they offer a view of the global market as well.

For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology (FIRST) is a robotics program at Oregon’s West Linn High School led by computer science and engineering teacher Tim Manes. Barry Matties caught up with Tim and his student team, 2BDetermined, at the FIRST Pacific Northwest District robotics event in Salem, Oregon. The team has excelled at the local and regional levels and was invited to participate in the world competition in April.
