HISTORY

 

The Premier Performance Network (PPN) is an organization of over 50 consultants who have worked for more than 15 years in the field of corporate performance and quality improvement. Many began their quality experience at Florida Power and Light (FPL), which won the Deming Prize in 1989. FPL was one of the first U.S. companies to utilize Six Sigma tools and was instrumental in helping establish the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award.

 

Many of PPN's principal consultants received their original Six Sigma training from the Union of Japanese Scientists and Engineers (JUSE). In addition, they learned the key elements of achieving corporate strategy through an organization-wide improvement system as seen at Japanese companies like Toyota.

 

More recently, PPN's consultants have worked world-wide with GE, AlliedSignal, 3M, Fidelity, Dow, Philips Electronics, ING Bank and Baldrige Award winners. PPN consultants have been senior executives at companies implementing a Six Sigma program. In addition, PPN consultants have served as Six Sigma instructors for PriceWaterhouseCoopers, Six Sigma Qualtec and General Electric.

This broad experience coupled with PPN's benchmarked Six Sigma materials allows the tailoring of the approach to a client's history, language, financial needs and strategy.
