George is the co-author of the Results Section of the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award application, which Texas Instruments won in 1992. His business experience coupled with his academic background enables him to help senior management teams create significant competitive advantage. As an expert at Six Sigma implementation, business process design, and strategy development, he advises senior management and trains cross-functional teams in Six Sigma techniques, Lean Transformation, and project execution.

During the mid-90’s, as global operations manager he used Six Sigma as the business management process for TI’s DLP Printer and Display Products Division. This effort involved maintaining quality and performance standards while outsourcing critical technology in optics, high-performance lamps, power supplies, and electronics.

George has applied the Six Sigma process in diverse industries such as; telecom, semiconductor, electro-optics, and mass transit. He has trained cross-functional teams composed of manufacturing, design, purchasing, financial, marketing, and customer service. These teams learned to remove barriers between departments and functions to reduce process variability, eliminate non-value added activities, reduce cycle time, and increase inventory turns.
