Bainbridge Island, Washington (May 24, 2010) – Awards season is officially open for the iSixSigma Live! Awards, which recognize Six Sigma projects and programs that have demonstrated breakthrough results and people who have made significant contributions to the Six Sigma community. Starting today, online nominations are being accepted for Lean Six Sigma projects, individuals and companies that excel in their continuous improvement efforts.
This year, a new category has been added to the Six Sigma project awards:

The four other main award categories are:
Largest-Breakthrough Improvement Project: iSixSigma will recognize Lean Six Sigma DMAIC projects with the largest breakthrough results in four categories – Supply Chain, Transactional, Manufacturing and Customer Service.
