DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Most Six Sigma books are targeted at manufacturers, and don't reflect the unique implementation challenges service companies face. This book fills the gap. Using its practical, start-to-finish guidance, service company teams can utilize Six Sigma to drive powerful bottom-line benefits. The authors systematically introduce the management foundation required to implement Six Sigma successfully. Readers will discover how to lead teams to achieve results in shorter time frames, and present projects to executives concisely and effectively. This book thoroughly covers every stage of the DMADV Design for Six Sigma® Management improvement model: Define, Measure, Analyze, Design, and Verify/Validate. Outputs from Minitab, JMP, and SigmaFlow are illustrated and provided on CD-ROM and through downloadable date sets and templates.

Yet, so many still seem to be intimidated by or skeptical about these principles and tools. In this text, Drs. Gitlow and Levine have provided a pragmatic, user-friendly treatment of underlying principles and methods, management obligations, and helpful case study examples to assist all of us in value-added enterprise-wide improvement." -Gary Floss, Managing Director, Bluefire Partners, and Board of Directors, the American Society for Quality (ASQ) "The authors provide the perfect blend of managerial insight and a straightforward "how to" approach to statistics. Anyone interested in learning about Six Sigma for the first time, or practitioners wanting to learn more, will find this book to-the-point, exciting, and easy to read. And also hard to put down!" -Timothy C. Krehbiel, Professor of Decision Sciences and MIS, Miami University (Ohio) "This book provides an excellent understanding of the foundations of quality management that provide a basis for the evolution of Six Sigma. For executives who wish to be "Champions" of Six Sigma, this book provides an understanding of what to expect of Green Belts as they work through a DMAIC project and what they should expect of themselves. Green Belt candidates will find the case studies extremely useful and informative. Both Champions and Green Belts will benefit from the comprehensive coverage of certification." -Edward A. Popovich, Ph. D., Vice President, Enterprise Excellence, Boca Raton Community Hospital and President, Sterling Enterprises International, Inc. The first complete Six Sigma implementation guide for Green Belts and Champions! Understand the rationale for Six Sigma Implement a proven executive framework for a successful quality initiative Use the DMAIC method for improvement from start to finish: Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, and Control Manage Six Sigma statistics-without becoming a statistician Learn through complete detailed manufacturing and service case studies Learn how to understand and manage Six Sigma statistics, through practical, Minitab-based application examples. Includes instructions for using Minitab software Learn how to pass Six Sigma certification examinations with sample questions and answers If you're "project managing" Six Sigma (potential Green Belt)-or promoting it at the executive level (potential Champion)-this is your book. It's the first Six Sigma book written specifically for Green Belts, Champions...and anyone who plans to become one. Two experts help you master the entire DMAIC model: Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, and Control. You'll discover realistic solutions for Six Sigma's profound human and technical challenges. You can even prepare for one of the world's leading Six Sigma certification programs. Clear, detailed, and proven...this is the one indispensable book for anyone who must manage Six Sigma to success. © Copyright Pearson Education. All rights reserved.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →To make Six Sigma work, executive and managerial "greenbelts" and "champions" need to understand core statistical concepts and techniques--but they don't need to become professional statisticians. Now, there's a concise, non-mathematical guide to all the statistics they need--and none of the statistics they don't need. The author shows them exactly how to capture the right information, make sense of it, and use it to improve quality throughout the entire Six Sigma DMAIC process. Levine illuminates topics ranging from statistical process control and experimental design to regression analysis and hypothesis testing. Drawing on the experience that has made him one of the world's most honored statistics educators, Levine presents statistical topics with the least possible mathematics. Throughout, he teaches through realistic examples--including many examples from the service industries, among the fastest-growing areas of Six Sigma implementation.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →This proposal constitutes an algorithm of design applying the design for six sigma thinking, tools, and philosophy to software design. The algorithm will also include conceptual design frameworks, mathematical derivation for Six Sigma capability upfront to enable design teams to disregard concepts that are not capable upfront, learning the software development cycle and saving development costs. The uniqueness of this book lies in bringing all those methodologies under the umbrella of design and provide detailed description about how these methods, QFD, DOE, the robust method, FMEA, Design for X, Axiomatic Design, TRIZ can be utilized to help quality improvement in software development, what kinds of different roles those methods play in various stages of design and how to combine those methods to form a comprehensive strategy, a design algorithm, to tackle any quality issues in the design stage.
