This book comprehensively explores all of the underlying issues and
elements which, together, constitute one of the most successful quality
and management programmes upon which companies such as Motorola and GE
base their success Six Sigma.
The author was directly involved in implementing Six Sigma quality
principles and practices into a European division of GE Capital, deploying
this initiative in an entirely service-oriented business for the first
time. Drawing from and reflecting on his experience, Geoff Tennant
develops a reasoned exploration of the benefits that Six Sigma offers to
any organization and what can be expected from start to finish. He
investigates the relationship between Six Sigma and quality, customer
satisfaction, business processes and organizational structure, statistics
and analysis and process improvement methodologies. Aimed at quality
professionals, senior management and directors, as well as practitioners
and students of Six Sigma, Six Sigma: SPC and TQM in Manufacturing and
Services provides an in-depth but highly readable insight into the quality
initiative that is certain to sweep European companies as it has large and
global American corporations.
