Obtain bottom-line benefits through Six Sigma
Organizations can gain much through a Six Sigma business strategy; however, failure and frustration can result when the techniques are not executed wisely. During the spring of 1998 while conducting Six Sigma training, it became obvious to me that there was an urgent need for a comprehensive book that helped practitioners and management with the wise integration and application of Six Sigma techniques.

This vision resulted in my dedication of many months writing Implementing Six Sigma: Smarter Solutions using Statistical Methods. In this book I built upon the topics and feedback I received from my first book, Statistical Methods for Testing, Development, and Manufacturing, which was published in 1992.

In my opinion those organizations who are currently implementing Six Sigma can find the book a useful supplement to their current material. Other organizations that are either considering implementing a Six Sigma program or have a need to improve the bottom-line can use the book as a guide to address these issues. -- Dieser Text bezieht sich auf eine andere Ausgabe: Gebundene Ausgabe .

This new and significantly revised edition of Implementing Six Sigma goes well beyond traditional Six Sigma methodologies, introducing an enhanced roadmap-S4/IEE (Smarter Six Sigma Solutionssm/Integrated Enterprise Excellence). This cutting-edge approach offers a solution to the common problem of sustaining Six Sigma activities and downplays the traditional policy stating that Six Sigma projects must have a defined defect. A variety of plans, checklists, metrics, and warnings of potential pitfalls provide thorough preparation for anyone implementing Six Sigma strategies.
 
With new coverage of Six Sigma infrastructure building, benchmarking, and real-world "lessons learned," this Second Edition is the best available tool for implementing these
 
powerful, profit-building strategies.
