Features: The main objective of this book is to explain the practical Six Sigma and to illustrate the unique concepts developed and applied by pioneers such as Motorola, ABB, General Electric, and others. Additionally, as Six Sigma has spread from the United States to Europe and Asia, we hope you use this book as a guide to enter the realm of Six Sigma. The main body of the book consists of eleven chapters. The first six chapters provide examples and explain Six Sigma and its application suggestions. This is written for corporate leaders, supervisors, managers, and everyone interested in practical improvement methods. We hope other readers will also find inspiration from it. Chapter 7 discusses the frequently asked questions about Six Sigma by supervisors and managers. Chapters 8 to 11 delve into the tools used in Six Sigma, including in-depth descriptions of procedures and case studies in corporate applications. For readers with further interest and Six Sigma experts, we have provided a comprehensive index that expands on important topics in the main body of the book. Additionally, Appendix F lists the most commonly used symbols in this book, and Appendix G includes a glossary of common technical terms.
