Six Sigma and Beyond: The Implementation Process (the final volume of a seven volume set) presents a synopsis of the curriculum that a typical six sigma program should follow. This volume differs from the preceding ones in that it is an implementation volume; therefore, the information is geared toward helping you formalize your own training. The book establishes the minimum requirements for the six sigma methodlogy and provides the body of knowledge needed for a successful and rewarding implemetation of the six sigma process. The intent is to present a curriculum that covers manufacturing, transactional, and technical organizations and institutions. This volume includes a glossary of nearly 70 pages, as well as detailed indexes for all seven volumes.

From the Preface: “...This work will attempt to focus on six sigma and beyond for both manufacturing and transactional organizations. Specifically, we will discuss the foundations of quality, and progressively, we will move into what is called the six sigma methodology from a design perspective. We will discuss some of the tools used in the methodology and close this series with an implementation scheme that, if followed, will help any organization improve both their processes and financial status...”

Target Audience: Academics and practitioners who desire to understand quality systems and the six sigma concept, including especially those individuals charged with implementation of six sigma methodology.
