Richard E. Biehl, Ph.D. ASQ Certified Six Sigma Black Belt - Designing and building data warehouses for the past 30 years - Consulting, instructing, and mentoring independently for the past 22 years - Teaching and mentoring Six Sigma projects as Black Belt for 10 years - Published expert in quality management, data modeling, and process analysis disciplines - Author of numerous data, process, architecture, and quality course curriculums Biographical SketchSenior consultant with thirty years of experience specializing in quality assurance, logical and physical data architectures, application architectures, and strategic planning for the business application of information technology. With a background ranging from requirements definition to application design and construction, including data base administration and systems programming, Rick uses his experience to affect a multi-disciplined approach to the application of information technology.Rick's current emphasis is on integrating quality assurance and software engineering disciplines in a systematic approach to the application of Six Sigma to information technology. Six Sigma for IT results in high quality business systems that are capable of internal self-correction and that can be held accountable for business and technical requirements through data visibility provided by management dashboards and scorecards. The rigor of Design for Six Sigma (DFSS) tools provides a platform for enabling the analysis and design patterns that have been identified and tested over a career to systematically enhance systems value to the business.
