Summary

From start to finish, this book provides a comprehensive lean six sigma case study. The text follows a team as they implement a lean six sigma project and provides over illustrative 100 figures and tables. Unlike current published case studies, which give only an overview, this in-depth case study presents the data, which are also included in the accompanying CD, and comprehensively explains how the team drew their conclusions. The CD contains all of the data used throughout the case study, so that readers can make the same analyses. In addition, the authors demonstrate the clear linkages between all of the lean six sigma tools.
