The Power of Six Sigma
Chowdhury, Subir
Six Sigma – never before has a business initiative transformed corporations so dramatically. While it has been credited with improving productivity, slashing costs, and improving profit margins, it can cause much angst among employees who need to change the way they currently work and adhere to a new philosophy. Corporations have seen radical change for the better, and to achieve those improvements requires radical change by employees. And it all starts with acceptance.The brainchild of management guru (and past president of ASQ's Automotive Division) Subir Chowdury, The Power of Six Sigma is a fictional tale that simplifies the complicated theories of Six Sigma. Contrary to other books on the subject, The Power of Six Sigma is a refreshing alternative, and succeeds at simplifying the message so everyone can effectively employ the initiative.
COMMENTS FROM OTHER CUSTOMERSAverage Customer Rating: (3.5 of 5 based on 2 reviews) - "This book reads easily but doesn't give much detailed informaion. You can find out most of what the book coverd from a good article in Quality Progress. It wouldn't be a bad book for someone who doesn't have any knowledge of Six Sigma who wanted some basic information to start." - Emily Matuska, Ohio
- "This is a very basic book on Six Sigma, using a story format to explain what Six Sigma is. This is the book to recommend for people who want a general understanding, but are not interested in reading about the details. It can be very helpful as an introduction to the subject."
