Lean Six Sigma Green Belt Volume 2: Manufacturing (Juran LSS Manufacturing)

This book is volume two of three. Lean Six Sigma is a result of two powerful methodologies (Lean and Six Sigma) that have a complementary toolkit. Combining the two techniques with effective team skills has provided vast improvements in many organizations. The fundamental objective of Juran’s Lean Six Sigma Manufacturing curriculum is to develop a methodology and strategy that enable individuals and organizations to successfully improve processes and reduce variation. At a project level the Lean Six Sigma DMAIC process (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, and Control) is an improvement system for existing processes falling below specification and provides methods for obtaining breakthrough improvement. Green Belts identify and resolve chronic problems using the Lean Six Sigma toolkit including graphical analysis tools, hypothesis testing, confidence intervals, and an introduction to Design of Experiments, among many other concepts. This book expands on the techniques, tools, and theories learned in volume one. Lean Six Sigma Green Belt Volume 1: Manufacturing is a prerequisite.
