Six Sigma and the Product Development Cycle

Six sigma is an effective and important management approach particularly used by multinational companies with manufacturing bases in the Asian and Pacific rim. One of the key issues facing businesses today is how to eliminate the high cost of developing new products. This is an area where the potential of six sigma has not been widely appreciated before. Six Sigma and the Product Development Cycle brings the six sigma approach up-to-date and explains it in a way that appeals to todays management teams. It makes the concept of six sigma easy to understand and accessible with the statistics necessary for its implementation clearly explained. Six Sigma and the Product Development Cycle covers the integration of quality function deployment with Taguchis methods of experimental design and statistical process control. These tools gather detailed insights into customer needs, optimize the products or services to meet these needs at the lowest practical cost, and ensure that this performance is maintained. It is a book about both six sigma and product and service development. Through this approach an organization can gain greater flexibility, shorter timescales, and the ability to react more quickly to changes or new demands in the marketplace. The approach is illustrated with practical examples from the nuclear industry, motor manufacturing, inland mail, emergency response organizations and financial services. * Explains complex processes with simple examples - a down-to-earth approach to a dificult subject. *Focuses on the product development cycle *Shows how to take a concept from the initial stage through to the final delivery so that it achieves sic sigma quality standard.

The Six Sigma Way: How GE, Motorola, and Other Top Companies are Honing Their Performance

The Six Sigma Way outlines the roadmap for implementing Six Sigma in your manufacturing or service organization.The authors - who have worked with some of the most visible Six Sigma companies including GE - provide step-by-step guidance and practical implementation tips. Six Sigma is a data-driven management system with near-perfect-performance objectives that has been employed to acclaim at leading corporations like General Electric. Its name is derived from the eye-catching statistical target of operating with no more than 3.4 defects per one million chances, but Peter Pande, Robert Neuman, and Roland Cavanagh--associates in a firm providing Six Sigma implementation, training, and management services--contend its principles can be applied in businesses of all types to routinely reduce costs, improve productivity, increase market share, and achieve other positive results. The Six Sigma Way is their comprehensive self-help guide to adapting and using the system under various conditions. Its first two parts cover fundamentals and provide specific suggestions for aligning the process with individual needs and goals. (These include sections on balancing potential costs and benefits, clarifying objectives, and defining time frames.) The final part, which accounts for more than half the book, focuses on implementation through a detailed yet flexible five-step "road map" tied to a company's core processes, key customers, current performance, "high-potential improvement opportunities," and future practices. While the procedure is quite complex, diligent managers should be able to bring at least basic components to their organization with the tools and techniques provided. Download

Six Sigma for Financial Professionals

With its celebrated success and proven results, the Six Sigma quality improvement methodology has expanded from its origins in the engineering industry to transform a wide variety of businesses, along the way developing a particular focus on and satisfaction. While this evolution may seem to imply a shift of attention to the "ground floor" business-client interface, Six Sigma expert D. H. Stamatis draws his readers to the very peak of the organizational chart, explaining how executives and leaders make or break Six Sigma success with their every action and decision. Six Sigma for Financial Professionals is a comprehensive quality improvement guide for the financial industry, explaining the practice of Six Sigma methodology from top to bottom. Conceiving a vision without creating the plans and effort to achieve it results in "fantasy," the author writes, while advancing plans and effort without an overriding vision produces "drudgery." Only by articulating vision, plans, and effort together can a leader realize "success." Stamatis explains how executives can effectively shift paradigms within their organizations and empower their employees with the authority and motivation to achieve the required goal. He identifies six items that a leader must always keep in mind: * Customer orientation * Quality culture * Accountability * Products and services * Suppliers * Training These are the critical arenas where an executive’s vision must transform into policy and practice. Stamatis then moves on to analyze Six Sigma principles in every aspect of a financial firm. Specific chapters address the fundamentals of Six Sigma, the DMAIC model, design, , statistics, roles and responsibilities, transactional business, and implementation strategy. In each chapter, Stamatis includes case studies that provide road maps and other practical blueprints based on actual business experiences. The author concludes with a heavy emphasis on training, both in nuts-and-bolts Six Sigma implementation and in cultivating future leaders as part of a vital growth strategy for any firm. No business can afford to ignore the extraordinary promise and potential of quality improvement. Six Sigma for Financial Professionals will prove a powerful guide for CEOs, CFOs, and all corporate leaders. RAPIDSHARE SENDSPACE DEPOSITFILES NO MIRRORS My Ebook List - Download Here
