Cookson Electronics Assembly Materials (Jersey City, NJ) is joining fellow Cookson Electronics companies Polyclad and Enthone in adopting the six sigma system to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of its business processes. The goal will be to enhance customer satisfaction, improve profitability and to train employees to understand and effectively employ the six sigma philosophy throughout the organization.
"Six Sigma is not another ‘TQM' program," said David Zerfoss, president of Cookson EAM. "It involves a sustainable, measurable culture shift for the companies that embrace it, and our company is doing just that. In fact, we have over 35 assembly materials employees either in or about to begin black belt training globally. Our black belt candidates have been carefully selected and, upon graduation, they will have developed the skills required to lead six sigma projects for us."
Motorola first made six sigma popular in the 1980s. Allied Signal employed it in the 1990s, and General Electric has made it arguably the most popular management philosophy in history. Polyclad and Enthone both launched their six sigma programs three years ago.
Cookson EAM develops, manufactures and sells materials used in electronic assembly processes, including: solder paste, stencils, squeegee blades, stencil and printed circuit board cleaners, bar solder, cored wire solder, wave soldering fluxes and surface-mount device adhesives.
