Book description
Design for Lean Six Sigmais the only book that employs a
"road-map" approach to DFSS, which allows corporate management
to understand where they are in the process and to integrate DFSS
methodology more fully into their overall business strategy. This is a
similar approach to that used by Forrest Breyfogle in his successful
book: "Implementing Six Sigma, 2E". This approach will allow
corporate management to understand where they are in the process and to
integrate DFSS methodology more fully into the overall business
strategy. Another important aspect of this book is its coverage of DFSS
implementation in a broad range of industries including service and
manufacturing, plus the use of actual cases throughout.
