Treasure Chest of Six Sigma Growth Methods, Tools and Best Practices Excerpt
This collection of Six Sigma tools covers a wide range of issues with the best practices framework, from statistical techniques, including ANOVA and multi-vari charts to benchmarks, capability and cost/benefit analyses.
This reference is the first comprehensive how-to collection of Six Sigma tools,
methodologies and best practices. Leading implementer Lynne Hambleton covers the entire
Six Sigma toolset, including more than 70 different tools — ranging from rigorous
statistical and quantitative tools to “softer” techniques.
The toolset is organized in an easy-to-use, alphabetical encyclopedia and helps
professionals quickly select the right tool, at the right time, for every business
challenge.
Hambleton systematically discusses which questions each tool is designed to answer;
how the tool compares with similar tools; when to use it; how to use it step-by-step;
how to analyze and apply the output; and which other tool to use with it. To further
illustrate and clarify tool usage, she presents hundreds of figures, along with
never-before-published hints, tips, and real-world, “out-of-the-box” examples.
Coverage includes:
- Real-world guidance to help practitioners raise the most important questions and
determine the best resolution - Statistical techniques, including ANOVA, multi-vari charts, Monte Carlo
simulations, normal probability plots and regression analysis - Benchmarks, capability and cost/benefit analyses, Porter’s Five Forces,
scorecards, stakeholder analysis and brainstorming techniques
