This document summarizes key aspects of Six Sigma, including:
1. Six Sigma is a data-driven approach to process improvement originally developed by Motorola in the 1980s. It aims to reduce defects to 3.4 per million opportunities.
2. Key aspects of Six Sigma include its goal of near perfection, use of DMAIC and DMADV methodologies, and emphasis on data-driven processes and high levels of expertise among practitioners.
3. Six Sigma progressed from earlier quality approaches and standards over the 20th century and became widely adopted in the 1990s due to its effectiveness in significantly improving quality, reducing costs, and satisfying customers.

The document discusses three types of training for developing human resources: learning, training, and development. Learning involves acquiring new knowledge and skills, especially hands-on skills. Training strengthens existing knowledge and skills through re-education, especially hands-on skills. Development refers to building and improving attitudes, abilities, values and beliefs over time, especially for managers, and can be seen as transformational learning. While knowledge and skills can grow quickly through learning and training in the short term, building and improving attitudes, abilities, values and beliefs takes much longer time, even fundamentally without progress.
This document contains notes on optical engineering topics including:
1. Optical science and technology, including fiber optics, optical components, and optical circuits.
2. Sources of light including natural light sources like sunlight and artificial light sources like lasers.
3. Optical design engineering which involves using principles of optics and design software to model optical systems.
