Design for Six Sigma as Strategic Experimentation: Planning, Designing, and Building World-Class Products and Services
Cook, H.E.
Design for Six Sigma as Strategic Experimentation develops a practical, science-based methodology for guiding the product realization process for highly-competitive markets. Forecasts of cash flow, market share, and price are used to select the final design from among the alternatives considered. A single formalism is used to integrate the tasks and responsibilities of marketing research, product planning, finance, design, engineering, and manufacturing within the overall product realization process.The targeted audiences for this book are graduate engineers, statisticians, and scientists who are or who soon will be involved in planning, designing, manufacturing, and servicing products for highly-competitive markets. A CD-ROM includes MS Excel macros, SDWs, and templates, as well as 12 tutorials. |
"This book is a significant contribution to statisticians, systems and industrial engineers interested in the big picture. It has the potential to increase the relevance of statistical analysis and improve the statistical ability of system engineers to deal with new product design using economic considerations. Teachers, students and practitioners will find the book a useful addition to their libraries."

"The book is an important path-breaking contribution to the critical societal need to more closely link engineering with business and other broad societal issues...Employing the approaches has the clear potential for achieving competitive advantage for corporations that grow capacity to use these tools and insights as additions to existing Six Sigma and Product Development improvement initiatives."

About the Author(s):
H. E. Cook, formerly Head of the Department of General Engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, is a member of the National Academy of Engineering, a Fellow of the Society of Automotive Engineers, a Fellow of ASM. He set the vision for the newly inaugurated M.S. and Ph.D. programs in Systems and Entrepreneurial Engineering within the General Engineering Department. While a member of the Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering, Professor Cook held the Grayce Wicall Gauthier and later the Joseph Gauthier Professorships.Originally a theorist in materials science, his current research and teaching interests are in the broad aspects of product/technology management including product planning, value analysis, marketing research, design and analysis of strategic experiments (Six Sigma), and advanced quality systems. He has published over 40 research papers and written a book, based largely upon the findings of his research group at the University of Illinois, entitled Product Management published by Kluwer Academic Publishers (formerly Chapman & Hall) in 1997. Dr. Cook has also held a variety of research, engineering and management positions during 17 years in the automotive industry at Ford and Chrysler.
