Publisher's Synopsis
Six Sigma is a disciplined, data-driven approach to improving product and process quality. Six Sigma as one of the most strategic initiatives undertaken has seen its adoption increase dramatically across the world. Enterprise quality management systems play a key role in the Six Sigma deployments. The basics of Six Sigma are actually designed to improve the performance of manufacturing industry. It was originally developed as a kind of quality control especially for large scale manufacturing companies. The main purpose of this quality control system was to improve the manufacturing processes along with eliminating the number of defects found in them. Later on the methodology of Six Sigma was extended to various other types of industries irrespective of their size all over the world. This book, Quality Beyond Six Sigma, provides a practical approach of Fit Sigma. Supported by research studies and phased action plans, it focuses on all functions, manufacturing or service, for any size of business. Six Sigma identifies and removes the defect causing elements along with reducing the changeability of the business and manufacturing processes to improve the quality of outputs of a manufacturing process. In this methodology, a set of quality management methods is used to create within the organization for a special infrastructure of the people who can use these methods like experts. An organization follows a defined set of steps to quantify the targeted value of the project while using each project of Six Sigma. For instance the organization can reduce pollution, reduce time cycle of a process and reduce cost of production for increasing profits and satisfaction level of its customers. While the essence of Six Sigma quality is the reduction of variability, management must get involved in the inevitability of variability in all kinds of business processes, set achievable measures on a good target to track a long-term commitment to attain the Six Sigma quality. Quality progress on a breakthrough project is in cost reductions, reduced scrap, increased production capacity, faster turnaround, quicker time to market, more profitable sales, faster delivery, and increased customer loyalty. As these accomplishments realized, the company grows closer to its customers and shift customer needs to develop the marketing mechanisms. Six Sigma quality system positions the company for greater customer satisfaction, profitability, and competitiveness. In large organizations where clear communication channels and extensive management infrastructure is available most effective results are shown by this type of programs. Most of the companies which have adopted this quality control system for improving their products and services are among the most successful ventures of the world. The comments of these companies reveal the fact that by embracing Six Sigma they have saved lots of money than earlier. But before adopting this system for you manufacturing company it is recommended that you should spend some time for researching about Six Sigma as the success of this process is questioned by some of the experts of manufacturing industry.
