Description: "What is Six Sigma? It is first and foremost a business process that enables companies to increase profits dramatically by streamlining operations, improving quality, and eliminating defects or mistakes in every thing a company does, from filling out purchase orders to manufacturing airplane engines.

While traditional quality programs have focused on detecting and correcting defects, Six Sigma encompasses something broader: It provides specific methods to re-create the process itself so that defects are never produced in the first place." "Six Sigma should be of paramount importance to every forward-thinking executive and manager determined to make their company world-class in their industry."--BOOK JACKET.
