Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Business Management "No other book covers—at an adequate technical level—as many topics important toSix Sigma. An indispensable reference for the Six Sigma practitioner." Ramon V. Leon Associate Professor, Statistics Department of the University of Tennessee Associate editor, Six Sigma Forum magazine "Breyfogle's book should be valuable to every Six Sigma professional." Bill Scherkenback Director, Samsung Quality Team "The seamless integration of statistical methodologies . . . helps organizations execute their strategic plans and track both short- and longer-term strategic progress within their various departments and overall organizations." Donald C. Fisher, PhD Executive Director, MSQPC—The Quality Center "Implementing Six Sigma provides the most up-to-date material on the topic, complete with a project infrastructure roadmap and hundreds of real-life examples and exercises." Frank Shines Project Manager, Pilgrim Software This new and significantly revised edition of Implementing Six Sigma goes well beyondtraditional 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 thesepowerful, profit-building strategies. Book News Annotation:A business initiative first espoused by Motorola in the early 1990s,
the Six Sigma strategy has become a standard statistical technique
for quality improvement. Breyfogle, founder and president of a
quality consulting firm, explains the implementation of Six Sigma.
The text is divided into five sections centered on using his "Smarter
Six Sigma Solutions"—deployment, measurement, analysis,
improvement, and control—and includes examples that describe the
mechanics of implementation as well as application possibilities.
Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com) Review:"An excellent reference book that should be on every individual involved in Six Sigma or even just quality assurance/quality improvement." (TQM Magazine) "...a useful guide for both academia and organizations...useful source of reference for researchers...an excellent reference book..." (The TQM Magazine, Vol 15(6) 2003) Review:2004 Crosby Medal Winner Synopsis:This book 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 flow-charting, and continuous improvement tools with a full range of powerful statistical techniques and concepts — crucial practical know-how for implementation practitioners and managers. Synopsis:
Synopsis:Filled with excellent diagrams and examples, the book discusses the theories of Edward Deming and other quality gurus, as well as the history of the Six Sigma program. It helps you lay the foundation for a Six Sigma program and discusses how to get upper management involved in the process. But the heart of the book is the statistical tools used in Six Sigma. From FMEA (Failure Mode and Effect Analysis) to QFD (Quality Functional Deployment) and DOE (Design of Experiment), Implementing Six Sigma is your guide to understanding these powerful improvement techniques. Rather than just a brief overview, it breaks down each tool into a separate chapter and gives an in-depth analysis of each process. The chapters contain exercises that help you understand the tools and how to best utilize each one to achieve a minimum number of defects in the production process. Written in an engaging style, this book is your guide to implementing a Six Sigma program. Contains appendices with numerous examples and copies of actual implementation guides used at Motorola.
