Lean Sigma: A
Practitioner's Guide
Lean
Sigma delivers
results – if you use the right tools and techniques. In Lean
Sigma: A Practitioner’s Guide,
Dr. Ian Wedgwood
captures best-practice Lean Sigma experience from multiple projects and
industries, helping any professional identify the solution that will
work best–and implement it.
Wedgwood’s exclusive "project roadmaps" present the fastest,
most
effective route to solving a wide range of problems–and
explain
why those solutions make sense. His "discovery roadmaps" help you
identify potential Lean Sigma projects, even in processes where there
are no obvious targets.
The heart of Lean Sigma is Wedgwood's 48 individual "tools roadmaps":
step-by-step instructions revealing exactly how and when to use all
these Lean Sigma tools...
