Features: According to a survey of CEOs from numerous multinational companies, making businesses more customer-centric has become one of the main challenges faced by companies today. Therefore, many strategic innovations revolve around customer-centricity, with one common approach being process optimization strategy. Recently, process optimization has evolved into a higher-level improvement standard, known as 6σ. Initially, process optimization aimed to reduce costs and shorten production cycles. However, these two aspects are often viewed in isolation and implemented separately in practice. This book explores the core of customer-centric 6σ management, linking customer-centricity with 6σ management and providing an integrated discussion on customer-centric strategic innovations and 6σ strategic innovations. The main content includes the rise of the 6σ concept, the financial outcomes brought by customer-centric strategies and 6σ innovations, how to understand customers and establish channels for communication with them, the potential challenges of 6σ innovations, and the relevant technologies for integrating customer-centric strategies with 6σ innovations. This book will help readers gain a comprehensive understanding of 6σ management.
