The Rhode Island Airport Corporation (RIAC), which operates the T.F. Green Airport (PVD), was once a top offender for aircraft or ground vehicles coming too close to each other. In an effort to reduce this incursion rate, the RIAC agreed to be the site of the PVD Enhanced Surface Marking Project of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). The FAA had been working since 2000 to identify possible solutions to the growing number of reported runway incursions. Early research focused on the yellow hold-short lines that are painted across every taxiway where it meets a runway. Human factors workshops were convened to pick the most effective hold-line solutions, while simulations and real-world tests at PVD were used to evaluate the new and improved markings in the field. The chosen enhancements include hold position lines that extend onto taxiway shoulders beyond edge lines, hold-position signs painted on one or both sides of taxiway centerlines and enhanced centerlines. Results of the site test indicate that the enhanced markings increased the location where pilots first see the hold line by 50 to 100 ft and eye tracking confirmed that the enhanced markings were not distracting. The enhancements also were highly rated by pilots. Based on the results of this beta test, the FAA is planning to release a draft update to the Advisory Circular on Standards for Airport Markings.

The concept of implementation of Six Sigma methodology was pioneered at Motorola in the 1980s with the aim of reducing quality costs. Six Sigma methodology has evolved into a statistically oriented approach to process, product or service quality improvement. It is a business performance improvement strategy used to improve profitability, to drive out waste in business processes and to improve the efficiency of all operations that meet or exceed customers' needs and expectations. A performance level of Six Sigma equates to 3-4 defects per million opportunities, where sigma is a statistical measure of the amount of variation around the process average. The average sigma level for most companies is three sigma. The authors offer guidance as to how companies may achieve Six Sigma performance. Organisations that have adopted the principles and concepts of Six Sigma methodology have realised that once they have achieved Five Sigma quality levels the only way to surpass the Five Sigma quality level is to redesign their products, processes and services from scratch. These circumstances have led to the development of what we call today 'design for Six Sigma'. Design for Six Sigma is a powerful approach to designing products, processes and services in a cost-effective and simple manner, to meet the needs and expectations of the customer.
