Lean Sigma: A Practitioner's
Guide
Lean
Sigma delivers results – if you use the right tools and techniques.
In Lean Sigma: A Practitioner’s Guide,
Dr. Ian Wedgwood captures best-practice Lean Sigma experience
from multiple projects and industries, helping any professional
identify the solution that will work best–and implement it.
Wedgwood’s exclusive "project roadmaps" present the fastest, most
effective route to solving a wide range of problems–and explain
why those solutions make sense. His "discovery roadmaps" help
you identify potential Lean Sigma projects, even in processes
where there are no obvious targets.
The heart of Lean Sigma is Wedgwood's 48 individual "tools roadmaps":
step-by-step instructions revealing exactly how and when to use
all these Lean Sigma tools...
