Description
Although the Six Sigma Define-Measure-Analyze-Improve-Control (DMAIC) methodology is a widely accepted tool for achieving efficient management of all aspects of operations, there are still many unwarranted concerns about its perceived complexity and implementation costs.
Dispelling these myths, Six Sigma for Powerful Improvement: A Green Belt DMAIC Training System with Software Tools and a 25-Lesson Course clarifies the long-accepted statistical and logical processes of Six Sigma and provides you with tools you can use again and again in your own "real world" projects—removing any doubts regarding their simplicity and "doability.". Not only does the book provide you with reasons for using the tools, it reveals the underlying doctrines, formulas, and steps required.
Although the tools and techniques presented are specifically associated with the DMAIC philosophy, they are applicable across a wide range of management and improvement scenarios.
Explaining Six Sigma processes in language that's easy to understand, the book starts with an overview, followed by specific techniques and procedures.
It presents detailed, illustrated lesson segments that include an agenda, roadmap, objectives, and a list of takeaway concepts.

The book uses hundreds of figures and tables to illustrate key concepts and also makes them available in full-color on the downloadable resources.
This is also true of the figures in the user guides that document the accompanying tools.
For each of the tools, the book includes a completed sample workbook.
