Description & Coverage
Description:

Lean Six Sigma has evolved progressively over time from quality efforts within an enterprise that are independent, to complex systems changing the concept from a simple network to complex alliance formation among firms. The changes created by these transformations present novel challenges and issues to new and established businesses alike.

Lean Six Sigma Approaches in Manufacturing, Services, and Production presents emerging research-based trends in the area of global quality lean six sigma networks and analysis. Adopting an interdisciplinary approach focusing on research, cases, and emerging technologies, this title provides insight and support to researchers, students, executives, managers, and practitioners concerned with the management of quality and efficiency across industries.

Coverage:

The many academic areas covered in this publication include, but are not limited to:

  • Engineering Economy and Cost Analysis
  • Enterprise resource planning
  • Manufacturing Systems
  • Operations Management
  • Production Planning and Control
  • Project Management
  • Quality Control and Management
  • Supply Chain Management
  • Third and Fourth Party Logistics
Reviews & Statements

Scholars of business, information, and manufacturing offer a synergistic view of Lean and Six Sigma to educators, quality management practitioners, and managers. Their topics include total quality management practices in multinational corporations, a framework for non-destructive evaluation application in supply chain management, an assessment of lean communication at a nuclear power plant, data fusion aiding tool design for emergency command and control using lean principles, and an assessment of leadership traits and the success of Six Sigma projects.

Lean Six Sigma is at a transition point from traditional, tangible industries to intangible, until present hard to grab processes - and this book gives great documentary about it. In particular, when you are looking for detail, often hard to find in our high-speed business world, this book will support you in detail. To the end, Index and References are really well worked out, hardly ever seen in a book around Lean and Six Sigma; this makes the book a fundamental help to get into process enhancement.
