If properly managed, Six Sigma methods can deliver dramatic improvement by increasing manufacturing and process efficiencies. But nearly 60% of all corporate Six Sigma initiatives fail to yield the desired results -- often companies take the "fighting fires" approach to business and do not take time to understand what the data in telling them, which is why many Six Sigma projects fail. The high-visibility of the Six Sigma Initiative has corporate executives committing to significant investment in resources often without any tangible improvement in profitability -- a fact neglected by most Six Sigma books. Written with Green belts, and managers in mind, this reference shows readers how to statistically evaluate a Six Sigma program, identify problems, and make tailor-made adjustments to get the desired results and revitalize a program.

What You Will Learn: Whether you are looking to significantly boost your earnings by becoming Six Sigma Certified or are simply looking learn about the strategies and tools necessary to support quality improvement initiatives, this training manual offers the largest value available. Who This Book is For: Anybody looking to learn Six Sigma Those seeking a Six Sigma Certification Individuals Looking to Significantly Increase their Income Individuals Looking to Stand-Out from the Competition Companies Looking to Train Their Employees What's Inside: This comprehensive guide was designed with the reader in mind. Other Six Sigma books typically fall into one of two categories. Either the training material is too comprehensive (leaving the reader to feel overwhelmed) or the material is too "watered-down" (leaving the reader without the necessary knowledge to be successful). Our guide strikes the perfect balance by providing as much depth as the reader would like. The material in our training guide is broken down into 4 areas. Units 1-2, provide an excellent introduction to Six Sigma and Lean Six Sigma as well as a brief overview of the methodology (ideal for White or Yellow Belt Certification). Units 3-5, covers more advanced Six Sigma concepts in addition to beginner statistics and intermediate statistics, along with helpful guides for computing statistics with software like Excel & Minitab (ideal for Green Belt Certification). Units 6-8 dive further into advanced concepts and processes within the Six Sigma methodology (ideal for Black Belt Certification). The remaining sections cover Six Sigma within specific industries, such as Six Sigma in Healthcare, Finance, Human Resources (HR), Information Technology (IT), Engineering, Marketing & Sales, Customer Service, Warehouse, Distribution, Manufacturing, Military/Defense, Government, and more. No matter your experience or goal, this comprehensive guide has something for everyone.

This definitive book provides the core measurement tools that Motorola, winner of the 1988 Malcolm Baldridge National Quality Award, uses to consistently produce high-calibre products as part of their drive to attain Six Sigma Quality--only 3.4 defects per million opportunities for error. Producibility Analysis and Process Characterization are groundbreaking engineering and statistical techniques for determining the probability that each manufacturing process will always yield identical products with zero defects.

This book aims to enable readers to understand and implement, via the widely used statistical software package Minitab (Release 16), statistical methods fundamental to the Six Sigma approach to the continuous improvement of products, processes and services. The second edition includes the following new material: Pareto charts and Cause-and-Effect diagrams Time-weighted control charts cumulative sum (CUSUM) and exponentially weighted moving average (EWMA) Multivariate control charts Acceptance sampling by attributes and variables (not provided in Release 14) Tests of association using the chi-square distribution Logistic regression Taguchi experimental designs

Learn what a Yellow Belt is, what skills are required, and how you can contribute to your organization's Six Sigma effort.* Basic Yellow Belt Skills. What s the best tool for the job? Included are comprehensive descriptions and applications of commonly used Six Sigma skills.* Statistical Tools for Yellow Belts. Lean how to use basic statistical tools to breath new life into your Six Sigma program.* DMAIC Overview. Learn the heart of the Six Sigma concept: the define-measure-analyze-improve-control process.The Six Sigma Yellow Belt Handbook also includes chapters on each of the DMAIC steps: define, measure, analyze, improve and control, as well as a full glossary of Six Sigma terms, and a list of Six Sigma s body of knowledge. This is a must-read for any Six Sigma practitioner.

Dr. Wheeler has written a practical guide that will help you figure out when and where to use the many data analysis techniques taught in most Six Sigma programs. This book is completely different from traditional texts in statistics since it is written from the perspective of the data analyst rather than that of the mathematician. The emphasis is upon how to gain the maximum insight with the least effort. The equivalence of different analysis techniques is presented and illustrated, using real data sets. The types of questions that are appropriate for different situations are presented. A rigorous explanation of why you should operate your process with a capability index in the vicinity of 2.0 is included, along with a simple way to convert capability indexes into integrated measures of the combined losses (in dollars) due to scrap, rework, and variation around the target. Also included is a DMAIC model that is an improvement over most, yet also easier to apply. This new book will clarify the confusion surrounding statistical inference; allow you to simplify your approach to data analysis without losing any of the interesting information contained in your data; and provide you with more effective ways to share your analyses with others. It will also help you identify the right projects, facilitate the necessary buy-in, and communicate your results with the greatest clarity. It won t tell you how to do Six Sigma, but it will tell you how to do Six Sigma better!
