Produktbeschreibung

General Electric's Six Sigma Revolution is the definitive guide to applying Six Sigma to a broad array of business processes--from finance and supply chain management to customer service and product development. Six Sigma (a performance improvement approach that allows for less than 3.4 defects per 1 million operations) was popularized by General Electric and became a mandate of GE CEO, Jack Welch. The author, hired by GE Capital, has implemented Six Sigma throughout the company and helped GE create a training program and consulting service focusing specifically on the approach.
