Publisher Description: Thousands of companies have discovered the value of Six Sigma in streamlining operations, cutting costs, improving quality, and increasing profitability. Now, there's a comprehensive guide to Six Sigma for the people who need it most: the green belts who manage Six Sigma, and champions who drive it at the executive level. Howard S. Gitlow and David M. Levine, present a complete executive framework for understanding quality and implementing Six Sigma. They systematically walk you through the five-step DMAIC implementation process, with detailed examples and real-world case studies. You'll learn how to make the business case for Six Sigma; manage Six Sigma statistics without becoming a statistician; even prepare for one of the field's most respected certification exams. Drawing on their unsurpassed expertise, the authors also present realistic solutions for the most significant obstacles in Six Sigma implementation: How do you sustain your initiative? How can you tell if it's working? If not, how do you get it back on track? From manufacturing to services, Six Sigma for Greenbelts and Champions helps leaders make Six Sigma work, so they can reap its full rewards. |
