Inhoudsopgave:
To some, the near perfection of the Six Sigma management system appears to be an impossible ideal, especially for small and medium enterprises. FIT SIGMA\u003csup\u003eTM\u003c/sup\u003e, a flexible and more sustainable approach, was developed through the integration of the \u0026#8216;hard' Six Sigma approach with Lean Enterprise philosophy. It consists of three elements; fitness for purpose, fitness for improvement and integration, and fitness for sustainability. \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eFIT SIGMA: A Lean Approach to Building Sustainable Quality Beyond Six Sigma\u003c/i\u003e shows how this tripartite approach can be used to add value to both large and small organisations through improved use of resources, and through the provision of improved customer satisfaction. It shows that a holistic approach to operational excellence underpinned by a data driven methodology can be applied equally to the manufacturing, service or public sectors.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAs the Six Sigma philosophy has evolved in recent years to take into account new challenges faced by companies, including climate change, green supply chain, emerging markets and a growing service sector, so FIT SIGMA\u003csup\u003eTM\u003c/sup\u003e has also adapted itself to these new demands.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eFIT SIGMA: A Lean Approach to Building Sustainable Quality Beyond Six Sigma\u003c/i\u003e covers key developing areas including:\u003c/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cdiv\u003eSustainability and Environment\u003c/div\u003e \u003c/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cdiv\u003eNon-profit organizations\u003c/div\u003e \u003c/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cdiv\u003eService Operations\u003c/div\u003e \u003c/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cdiv\u003eSupply Chain Management\u003c/div\u003e \u003c/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cdiv\u003eProject Management\u003c/div\u003e \u003c/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cdiv\u003eEmerging Markets\u003c/div\u003e \u003c/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cdiv\u003eSmall and Medium Enterprises\u003c/div\u003e \u003c/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cdiv\u003eGreen Thinking\u003c/div\u003e \u003c/li\u003e \u003c/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eEach chapter contains practical implementation guide, illustrative examples and case studies, and concludes with a summary of key elements for ease of reference and revision.
