Developed by Motorola and popularized by Jack Welch and General Electric, Six Sigma remains the most influential program for zero-defect quality excellence. Now, a leading member of the renowned Motorola team that started it all has succeeded like no one else at transferring the essence of Six Sigma to the written page. With sharp slaps at the watered-down Six Sigma efforts in vogue today, Keki Bhote provides an accessible road map to Ultimate Six Sigma™—a broader and more vigorous system that breaks through the narrow confines of quality excellence to total business excellence. Bhote has packed this book with 200 disciplines and techniques that unleash the power of Ultimate Six Sigma™ in four key areas: Stakeholders, High-Octane Techniques, Major Line Functions, and Results. Readers fixed on results will also appreciate the recommended timetables for implementation, keyed to a company’s level of urgency and its familiarity with quality concepts. Self-assessment audits help you determine where to begin. The journey toward Ultimate Six Sigma™ will be challenging but rewarding—it will renew your organization’s commitment to profit improvement, business integrity, and stakeholder value.
