Publisher's Synopsis
Quality plays an important role in the success and failure of an organization. Neglecting an important aspect like quality, will not let you survive in the long run. Six Sigma ensures superior quality of products by removing the defects in the processes and systems. Six sigma is a process which helps in improving the overall processes and systems by identifying and eventually removing the hurdles which might stop the organization to reach the levels of perfection. According to sigma, any sort of challenge which comes across in an organization's processes is considered to be a defect and needs to be eliminated. In today competitive environment, organizations are requisite to carefully consolidate their activities vis-à-vis quality management. Quality management and six sigma are the approaches that have been successful in resolving complicated quality problems in products and services. Since the 1980s, several important quality management systems, or programs, such as ISO 9000, TQM, Six-Sigma program, Reengineering, and Toyota production system (or lean production), have been launched. Most of these quality imperatives have been widely adopted by industries around the world. All the firms expect good results from the implementation of these quality programs. But the prerequisite is that the employees are familiarized with the quality systems and know how to implement the related practices as a firm plan to adopt these quality systems. Among the quality management imperatives, the quality management and Six-Sigma program are widely adopted by the industries around the world; many organizations even implement both of these quality management systems. In order to implement these two quality management programs effectively, it is necessary to integrate quality management with the Six-Sigma program, or even with other quality practices. The goal of this book named Quality Management and Six Sigma is to propose models, methods, and software tools well-tested in practice, for forecasting quality and risks as applied to newly developed and currently operated manufacture, power generation, transport, engineering, information, control and measurement, food storage, quality assurance and security systems. Presented work is devoted to the researches of standard processes for providing effective quality management in systems life cycle. This implies an understanding of system requirements, strength of mathematical models and optimization methods, i. e. everything that is vitally important but has never been in the focus of attention of either technical specialists or students. Quality management has long been established as an important strategy for achieving competitive advantage. The aim of the businesses may differ, but the importance of customers is a matter of common interest. The ability of the organizations to adapt to new customer requirements in a globalized market is of vital importance for long-term success. Traditional quality initiatives such as statistical quality control, zero defects, and total quality management, have been key initiatives for many years. In last two decades, Six Sigma evolved as a new quality management initiative and now many organizations are working towards its implementation.
