Uniworld believes conferences should introduce your firm to practical approaches with proven results.  Following our deployment model, our events begin with a methodology outline followed by tools application detailing client case studies. Our conferences conclude with workshops engaging participants to explore some of the key applications within their own business, and to share experiences across industries.  How would the application of this knowledge enhance your own business?

Uniworld’s conferences allow your firm to stay up to date with the latest tools, assess your firm’s application and knowledge level, and efficiently evaluate whether a comparable more detailed on-site workshop would increase your firm’s competitive ability.

November 2-3, 2005: Orlando, FL:
3rd Annual Best Practices in Six Sigma

Uniworld sponsored track:
Advanced Design for Six Sigma and Innovation

Uniworld will lead the conference and workshop track focused on the most powerful tools in Design for Six Sigma.  The first day will explore methodologies to identify opportunities, innovatively create solutions, and then reduce design cycle time with statistically based reliability testing.  Specific case studies will range from chemical applications, to commodity industrial products.  Participant assessment of their firms’ knowledge, application and success of design specific tools will also be conducted and assessed across industries.

Parallel interactive workshops will be held on the second morning.  The first track will extensively explore identifying customers, value, and areas to create differentiators, the starting point of any DFSS effort.  The second track will more fully explore the Triz Innovation Methodology, taking participants through Uniworld’s practical application of this underutilized tool.  Make your Design brainstorming sessions more productive by learning how to explore proven solutions already existing in other industries.

Both tracks of workshop participants will be able understand the applications of the methods to their Design for Six Sigma efforts, and will have preliminary working knowledge of these tools applied to their projects.

Site Tour of Northrop Grumman Avondale Operations is available on the afternoon of the 5th, morning of the 6th.

April 17-19, 2005 : Trizcon 2005: 7th Annual  Triz Conference, Brighton, Michigan

Corporate Triz Users Panel Discussion

The panel explored the fit of the TRIZ (Theory of Innovative Problem Solving) methodology with other quality techniques from differing user perspectives.   Uniworld participated as the Six Sigma leader in the use of Triz.   Uniworld emphasized that Triz is a key tool for allowing a team to create new and innovative solutions to their design challenges, based on successful solutions already proven in other industries.  Uniworld has integrated a half day overview of TRIZ, examples and exercises into the Concept phase of Design for Six Sigma and has integrated three days of further TRIZ tools and details into Uniworld’s  Innovation for Six Sigma methodology.  Additionally, our three day Innovation modular workshops help teams to explore TRIZ solutions for business, process or product design challenges.  Uniworld believes that the integration of practical tools, including Triz, into an overall Six Sigma methodology will bring stronger results, as opposed to using individual tools in an isolated manner.

February 1 & 2, 2005: Phoenix, Arizona: Design for Six Sigma Conference and Workshop

Uniworld and Decisioneering lead a Design for Six Sigma conference followed with a workshop. The conference took participants through the DFSS roadmap. Specific case study applications  delivered by Uniworld, Decisioneering, Ideation International, and our customers presented the application of DFSS across a wide range of industries from automotive to pharmaceuticals.

The second day featured two workshops delivered simultaneously. The first workshop, Driving the Top Line with Innovation, had the participants identify value, voice of the customer, customer dimensions, and key innovation opportunities. In the second workshop, Assessing your DFSS Deployment, participants learned key items in a DFSS deployment, observed benchmark data, and assessed their own DFSS deployment's key strengths and opportunities.
