From the Back Cover

HERE’S THE NUTS, BOLTS, AND STATISTICS OF IMPLEMENTING SIX SIGMA IN NEW PRODUCT DESIGN AND MANUFACTURING

Fewer defects, optimal design, lower production costs, higher quality products, and increased customer satisfaction – with benefits like those, is it any wonder that premier firms such as GE have adopted the Six Sigma approach to design and manufacturing and thousands of other companies are following suit? This powerful engineering resource provides the detailed methodologies, illustrations, and calculations needed for the implementation and improved utilization of Six Sigma in the electronics, mechanical, aerospace, and medical industries.

Written by an acknowledged Six Sigma quality expert with a flair for clear, succinct writing – and priceless hands-on new product development and manufacturing experience -- Six Sigma for Electronics Design and Manufacturing includes eye-opening real-world electronics and high-technology industry case studies and covers essential issues such as:
* Six Sigma connectivity with world-class quality tools
* Achieving Six Sigma using the manufacturing control systems
* Six Sigma methodology in the design of new systems and products
* Using Six Sigma for product cost estimation and test strategy
* How to use Six Sigma in high- and low-volume products and lifecycles
* Six Sigma in project management, including the supply chain
* Using Design of Experiments (DoE) to achieve Six Sigma goals
* Successful Six Sigma roadmaps
* And much more

For electrical and mechanical engineers, technicians, and managers who need “the numbers” to make Six Sigma work in the complex electronics and high-technology arena, here is a truly indispensable reference.
