Starting from the basic concepts of continuous quality improvement, the book elaborates on its planning and implementation in detail, providing specific guidance for enterprises to plan and carry out continuous quality improvement. Successful implementation of continuous quality improvement must be based on actual conditions and data analysis for decision-making and planning, and then put into practice. The correct and effective application of various relevant statistical methods and tools is a necessary condition for promoting the success of continuous quality improvement projects and activities. Therefore, the book provides a detailed introduction to the fundamental principles and operational skills of common statistical methods in the process of continuous quality improvement. It also offers a systematic and concise introduction to Six Sigma management, which has recently gained popularity. The book emphasizes practical examples in explaining the application process, making it highly operational and practical value. Throughout the entire explanation, nearly 500 diagrams have been carefully drawn, featuring a combination of text and visuals with a focus on linking theory with practice. This book plays a positive guiding role in the establishment and operation of enterprise quality management systems, as well as in the promotion of total quality management.
