World Class Applications shows what real organisations have done to implement Six Sigma, the methodology used, and the results delivered. The book provides details of how these organisations overcame issues with the statistical tools of Six Sigma and provides valuable lessons by explaining what went wrong when implementation failed. Cases cover topics including: Six Sigma in HR; Implementing Six Sigma in the Dow Chemical company; Six Sigma in IT; and Six Sigma to improve reporting quality.
The next step in the evolution of the organizational quality field, Lean Six Sigma (LSS) has come of age. However, many challenges to using LSS in lieu of, in conjunction with, or integrated with other quality initiatives remain. An update on the current focus of quality management, Quality Management for Organizations Using Lean Six Sigma Techniques covers the concepts and principles of Lean Six Sigma and its origins in quality, total quality management (TQM), and statistical process control (SPC), and then explores how it can be integrated into manufacturing, logistics, and healthcare operations. The book presents the background on quality and Lean Six Sigma (LSS) techniques and tools, pre...
The 2009 International Conference on Mechanical and Electronics Engineering (ICMEE 2009) will be held in Chennai, India from 24-26 July, 2009. The aim of ICMEE 2009 is to provide a platform for researchers, engineers, academicians as well as industrial professionals from all over the world to present their research findings and development activities in mechanical and electronics engineering. This conference provides opportunities for the delegates to exchange new ideas and application experiences face to face, to forge new business or research relations and to find global partners for future collaboration.
This is an open access book. As on date, huge volumes of data are being generated through sensors, satellites, and simulators. Modern research on data analytics and its applications reveal that several algorithms are being designed and developed to process these datasets, either through the use of sequential and parallel processes. In the current scenario of Industry 4.0, data analytics, artificial intelligence and machine learning are being used to support decisions in space and time. Further, the availability of Graphical Processing Units (GPUs) and Tensor Processing Units (TPUs) have enabled to processing of these datasets. Some of the applications of Artificial Intelligence, Machine Lear...
This handbook begins with the history of Supply Chain (SC) Engineering, it goes on to explain how the SC is connected today, and rounds out with future trends. The overall merit of the book is that it introduces a framework similar to sundial that allows an organization to determine where their company may fall on the SC Technology Scale. The book will describe those who are using more historic technologies, companies that are using current collaboration tools for connecting their SC to other global SCs, and the SCs that are moving more towards cutting edge technologies. This book will be a handbook for practitioners, a teaching resource for academics, and a guide for military contractors. S...

"In this book, I have found answers to key questions and misconceptions about the relationship between Six Sigma and the Capability Maturity Model Integration [CMMI]....Among my key takeaways is that the relationship between Six Sigma and CMMI exemplifies one of the principles of S4/IEE: CMMI provides process infrastructure that is needed to support a successful Six Sigma strategy." —Forrest W. Breyfogle III, CEO, Smarter Solutions, Inc. "Finally, a book that bridges the software and hardware process tool set. To date, there have been hardware and software engineers who for one reason or another have not communicated their process methods. And so, myths formed that convinced the hardware c...
Das Multiprojektmanagement als übergeordneter Rahmen beinhaltet neben der erfolgreichen Durchführung von Einzelprojekten die Planung, Kontrolle und Steuerung einer gesamten Projektlandschaft auch die nachhaltige Etablierung – unterstützt durch den Aufbau von organisationalen Kompetenzen. Monika Harsch erläutert eine umfassende krankenhausspezifische Konzeption eines Multiprojektmanagements. Dafür nutzt sie bereits bestehende wissenschaftlich fundierte Konzepte, entwickelt sie weiter und bezieht spezifische Anforderungen für das Krankenhaus mit ein. Grundlage der Konzeption sind die Ergebnisse einer deutschlandweiten Befragung von Mitarbeitern und Geschäftsführern von Krankenhäusern zum Stand des gegenwärtigen Projektmanagements und zur Bedeutung von Elementen des Multiprojektmanagements.
The tools and techniques used in Design of Experiments (DoE) have been proven successful in meeting the challenge of continuous improvement in many manufacturing organisations over the last two decades. However research has shown that application of this powerful technique in many companies is limited due to a lack of statistical knowledge required for its effective implementation.Although many books have been written on this subject, they are mainly by statisticians, for statisticians and not appropriate for engineers. Design of Experiments for Engineers and Scientists overcomes the problem of statistics by taking a unique approach using graphical tools. The same outcomes and conclusions ar...
