Lean Six Sigma for Small and Medium Sized Enterprises

Rezensionen / Stimmen

"... it constitutes a valuable addition to the Lean Six Sigma literature that is often focused on the needs of large multinational corporations. ... Lean Six Sigma is not only for large corporations and this book proves it...an excellent reference text for running continuous improvements in small and medium organizations."
-Alessandro Laureani, Master Black Belt, Google, Republic of Ireland



"The book is intended for senior managers, middle managers and people on the shop floor who are preparing to become lean Six Sigma deployment champions, green belts and yellow belts. The authors provide a road map for small and medium-sized enterprises, detail metrics and the wide variety of available tools, take the reader through project selection and provide five case studies.
The projects chosen are a small-scale foundry, an automobile supplier, die-casting process, a camshaft manufacturing organization in India and a lean Six Sigma application to road construction for wind turbine installation, also in India.
So don't let your organization's small size deter you. Lean Six Sigma can reduce defect and rework in any enterprise."

"This practical guide, keeping the required math and statistics to a minimum, covers the fundamental challenges and common pitfalls that can be avoided with the successful introduction and deployment of LSS in the context of SMEs.
At the end of this book five different case studies are presented that clarify, with the use of real data, metrics, pictures and tables and diagrams, how LSS can really improve the business of SMEs achieving concrete positive results.
All in all, this practical guide is suggested for industrial management students and company managers who need to improve their practical knowledge of Lean Six Sigma in SMEs. The language, the examples and the organization of this book help people who have only a general knowledge about Lean Six Sigma concept to go in depth in this practice."
