Six Sigma is a management program that provides tools that help manufacturersobtain efficient streamlined production to coincide with ultimate highquality products. Lean Six Sigma will show how the wellregarded analyticaltools of Six Sigma quality control can be successfully brought into the wellestablished models of lean manufacturing bringing efficient streamlinedproduction and high quality product readily together. This book offers athorough yet concise introduction to the essential mathematics of Six Sigmawith solid case examples from a variety of industrial settings culminating inan extended case study.Various professionals will find this book immensely useful whether it be theindustrial engineer the industrial manager or anyone associated withengineering in a technical or managing role. It will bring about a clearunderstanding of not only how to implement Six Sigma statistical tools butalso how to do so within the bounds of Lean manufacturing scheme. It will showhow Lean Six Sigma can help reinforce the notion of less is more while at thesame time preserving minimal error rates in final manufactured products.Reviews the essential statistical tools upon which Six Sigma rests includingnormal distribution and mean deviation and the derivation of 1 sigma throughsix sigmaExplains essential lean tools like ValueStream Mapping and qualityimprovement tools like Kaizen techniques within the context of Lean Six SigmapracticeExtended case study to clearly demonstrate how Six Sigma and Lean principleshave been actually implemented reducing production times and costs andcreating improved product quality «
