THE SIX SIGMA COMPANY
Larry Abeleda, Purchasing Manager of Six Sigma Company, manufacturer and exporter of a wide
variety of industrial products for the petrochemical industry, just arrived at the office and immediately
perused over the pile of documents in his in-basket on top of his desk.
One enveloped he opened was an invitation for a golf tournament, sponsored by one of Six Sigma’s
biggest supplier of sealants, Sealtite Corporation. Larry was an avid golfer and enjoyed this game immensely and always looked forward to playing every second Sunday of each month with his friends
from his high school.
As he scanned the invitation, it appears that the tournament was set in two weeks time and it was to be held in Singapore, all expenses paid, leaving on a Friday and returning Sunday evening. The affair also

fun filled night dubbed “ Boys Night Out”. Larry have heard of these dinner parties of Sealtite and it
always intrigued him. For the female attendees of this affair, they will have a counterpart dinner and
a will attend the ballet presentation of the world famous Russian Ballet Group, who will be in Singapore
at that time.
