Response Surface Methodology (RSM) :

The document was renamed by "Selected illustration of Response Surface methodology - Part 1 : Central Composite Designs". It is to become an ISO Technical Report (TR). 

Some issues shall be solved with:

This new subject is to drive to the publication of an ISO/TR (ISO/TR 16705) on Table of Contingency.

New Works Items on the launching platform :

Benchmark methodology for Six Sigma was confirmed as needed by the Six Sigma community. No improvement method can do without a benchmark step that states the quality performance. The benchmark method is to established the good practices so that the result of a benchmark are accepted by all stakeholders (managers, sponsor, master black belt...).
