Download or read book Transactional Six Sigma and Lean Servicing written by Betsi Harris Ehrlich and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2002-06-13 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Service industries have traditionally lagged manufacturing in adoption of quality management strategies and Six Sigma is no exception. While there are a growing number of books on applying the hot topics of Six Sigma and Lean Manufacturing concepts in a manufacturing environment, there has not been a mainstream book that applies these techniques in a service environment, until now. Transactional Six Sigma and Lean ServicingTM: Leveraging Manufacturing Concepts to Achieve World Class Service is a ground breaking "how-to" book that serves as a practical guide for implementing Six Sigma and Lean Manufacturing methods in a transactional service oriented environment. It uses real case studies and examples to show how Six Sigma and Lean ServicingTM techniques have been implemented and proven effective in achieving substantial documented results. Lean ServicingTM is the author's own term used to describe the application of Lean Manufacturing concepts to transactional and service processes. Liberal use of examples, graphics, and tables will assist you in grasping the difficult concepts. Transactional Six Sigma and Lean ServicingTM covers both theory and practical application of Lean ServicingTM, Six Sigma DMAIC and Six Sigma DFSS concepts and methods so you can implement them effectively in your service organization and achieve reduced costs and a new level of service excellence.

Download or read book The Master Book for Lean Six Sigma Green Belt Certification I written by Nilakantasrinivasan J and published by Nilakantasrinivasan J. This book was released on 2018-03-28 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Part 1 of CSSGB Certification Series In the author's (Nilakantasrinivasan J) experience of coaching over 3000 candidates for Lean Six Sigma Certifications and having interviewed over 300 candidates for Lean Six Sigma roles, one thing I can say with conviction is that Six Sigma is overwhelming and a difficult subject when it comes to answers questions in exams or in interviews. While many practitioners understand the concepts of Lean Six Sigma, they fail to give ‘right’ answers in these instances. They fail to create the right impression in the interview. Instead, they leave an impression of mere familiarity, which doesn’t make the cut either in Interviews or Exams. Why this book? While preparing for CSSGB exams of ASQ & IASSC, a learner like you encounters a lot of doubt. If you have to clear exams, you should have crystal clear understanding of all the concepts and you should know to paraphrase it in the right way. Whether you are taking objective or subjective type exams, these are critical aspects. • As a result, this book is structured in the form of Q & A. • All necessary concepts are explained with examples across industries. In interviews, interviewers test application knowledge; I have seen candidates drawing a blank when you ask them for an example. • It is comprehensive and covers all the necessary topics that a CSSGB needs to know. It is drawn based on universal curriculum that maps to both ASQ & IASSC Body of Knowledge. How to use this book? • While preparing for CSSGB exams, reading the book sequentially will help • Before an interview, you can brush up the topics of your choice Structure of this Book? As this is an in-depth study material, it is voluminous. Thus the content is split into 3 parts. While Part 1 covers, Six Sigma Overview & Define Phase, Part 2 covers Measure, Part 3 Analyze, Improve & Control phases. Further reading? If you wish to learn about various application aspects, tips and practical nitty-gritties, you will find out online learning courses invaluable.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although the Six Sigma Define-Measure-Analyze-Improve-Control (DMAIC) methodology is a widely accepted tool for achieving efficient management of all aspects of operations, there are still many unwarranted concerns about its perceived complexity and implementation costs. Dispelling these myths, Six Sigma for Powerful Improvement: A Green Belt DMAIC Training System with Software Tools and a 25-Lesson Course clarifies the long-accepted statistical and logical processes of Six Sigma and provides you with tools you can use again and again in your own "real world" projects—removing any doubts regarding their simplicity and "doability.". Not only does the book provide you with reasons for using the tools, it reveals the underlying doctrines, formulas, and steps required. Although the tools and techniques presented are specifically associated with the DMAIC philosophy, they are applicable across a wide range of management and improvement scenarios. Explaining Six Sigma processes in language that's easy to understand, the book starts with an overview, followed by specific techniques and procedures. It presents detailed, illustrated lesson segments that include an agenda, roadmap, objectives, and a list of takeaway concepts. It also: Provides seven separate Excel tool templates—each with its own user guide and additional smaller tools Presents completed Excel sample workbooks for each tool to facilitate your comprehension and utilization confidence Includes downloadable resources with a PowerPoint-based DMAIC training course, the aforementioned Excel-based Six Sigma tools and workbooks, and extensive instructor’s notes embedded in each lesson Trained as and employed as a Black Belt and later as a Master Black Belt, the author presents doctrines and procedures with a strong pedigree and history of success. The book uses hundreds of figures and tables to illustrate key concepts and also makes them available in full-color on the downloadable resources. This is also true of the figures in the user guides that document the accompanying tools. For each of the tools, the book includes a completed sample workbook. The PowerPoint and Excel lessons and tools are provided in both 2007 and 97-2003 versions.

Download or read book Six Sigma in Transactional and Service Environments written by Hasan Akpolat and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2017-03-02 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1987, Motorola developed Six Sigma out of a need for improvement in their pager manufacturing processes. Since then, Six Sigma has been implemented by a number of manufacturing companies, predominantly in the USA. In the late 1990s, however, Six Sigma gained wider and international popularity due to successful implementation at General Electric. Six Sigma has now become one of the integral aspects of manufacturing, as well as non-manufacturing businesses worldwide. In recent years, many books have been published on Six Sigma, mainly on its application in manufacturing and product development. This book, by contrast, focuses specifically on the application of Six Sigma in service and transactional environments. The book comprises two parts. Part One provides the necessary knowledge for understanding the Six Sigma methodology and its underlying concepts. Part Two consists of practical examples of Six Sigma application to transactional and service environments which have been provided in the form of real world case studies written by internationally successful companies, to complement the reader's knowledge of Six Sigma and to increase comprehension of issues surrounding Six Sigma implementations. It has been written for newcomers as well as for experienced practitioners who are interested in improving processes in everyday business operations. The focus is on the implementation of the Six Sigma methodology rather than on the statistical tools and techniques. The aim of this book is to provide the reader with some practical and useful guidelines for Six Sigma deployment and its application to transactional and service processes.
