I always believe that theory and practice should go together. Several times theories sound so good that they give you a glimpse of heaven. But in practice, they don’t work at all.
That was the reason why I grabbed the chance to attend the forum on Six Sigma Practices in the Philippines last year. True enough, I learned that real is far better than reel.
So, you may want to check this book out: World Class Applications of Six Sigma: Real World Examples of Success by Antony, Jiju; Kumar, Ashok; Banuelas, Ricardo
World Class Applications shows what real organisations have done to implement Six Sigma, the methodology used, and the results delivered. The book provides details of how these organisations overcame issues with the statistical tools of Six Sigma and provides valuable lessons by explaining what went wrong when implementation failed. Cases cover topics including: Six Sigma in HR; Implementing Six Sigma in the Dow Chemical company; Six Sigma in IT; and Six Sigma to improve reporting quality.
- Demonstrates how Six Sigma has been applied through real-life case studies
- Examples from well-known manufacturing and service companies around the world, including Motorola and Dow Chemical
- Estimates the financial savings made from implementing Six Sigma in each case study
