A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture

From the Foreword . . .

"I have seen many Six Sigma approaches, but Breyfogle′s Implementing Six Sigma is the most comprehensive of them all."––Frank Shines, Principal, IBM Global Services, Measurement Methods Consulting.

"The key to business success is doing the right thing faster and better and more efficiently than your competition. The Six Sigma approach aims at achieving this and Forrest Breyfogle has written the most systematic and comprehensive manual available on the subject."––Paul Tobias, Manager, Statistical Methods Group, SEMATECH

"[This book] illustrates how most organizations can become more competitive, reduce defect levels, and improve cycle times. It consolidates not only the traditional Six Sigma process measurements and improvement tools, but also many other useful methodologies into one easy–to–understand text."––Bill Wiggenhorn, Senior Vice President of Motorola Training and Education; President, Motorola University.

Implementing Six Sigma demystifies Six Sigma methods for today′s users and offers invaluable guidance on how to choose and use Six Sigma tools effectively. The Six Sigma implementation road map the book describes integrates basic methods such as FMEA, QFD, process flowcharting, and continuous improvement tools (e.g., Pareto chart and cause–and–effect diagram) with a full range of powerful statistical techniques and concepts––crucial practical know–how for implementation practitioners and managers.

Présentation de l'éditeur

Written to aid organizations in laying the foundation for Six Sigma, this comprehensive and engaging guide provides the tools, strategies, and motivation to get all relevant players involved with improvement from upper management on down. At the heart of the book is a group of statistical tools that address FMEA (Failure Mode and Effect Analysis), QFD (Quality Functional Deployment), and DOE (Design of Experiment).

Rather than offering just a brief overview, Implementing Six Sigma devotes individual chapters to all of the tools, so as to provide an in-depth analysis of each. A large selection of diagrams and clarifying exercises demonstrate how to best utilize the tools to successfully minimize defects throughout the production process. To provide a deeper understanding, the book discusses the theories of Edward Deming and the history of the Six Sigma program. Steeped in real world application, it presents numerous examples, as well as copies of actual implementation guides used by Motorola.
