Response: This will be the mechanisim for monitoring and approving projects. Strategic planning through quality council. 3. Can a copy of a recent Carey Award submission be made available via a web site to better understand your existing planning processes and use of information and analysis?

Have prospective students received "pre-requisite" training in statistics, team building, and other supporting skills that will enable them to acquire the high level statistical skills of Six Sigma within that time period? Response: Participants have received team building and other supporting skills. Statistics is a weakness. 5. If comprehensive pre-training has not been done, would a contractor be non-compliant if they based a proposal on industry norms (to ensure a quality training output) or should all contractors limit student exposure to Six Sigma based on the constraints in the RFQ? Response: Based on the constraints in the RFQ. 6. There are many different tools that can be used to perform Six Sigma statistical analysis.

Training will be held in the Post Theater which will support team exercises. 8. How many "break out" rooms are available? Response: As many as needed. 9. Will rooms have the proper equipment needed to conduct practical exercises (computers, statistical calculators)? Response: This is not available in the training rooms, but in each service. 10.
