Fusion Management: Harnessing the Power of Six Sigma, Lean, Iso 9001 : 2000, Malcolm Baldrige, Tqm and Other Quality Breakthroughs of the Past Century

There has been no true breakthrough in the discipline of quality since 1934. There have only been fads and what Dr. Stanley Marash calls programmes du jour.

As CEO of one of the largest management system training and consulting firms in North America, Dr. Marash draws on more than 40 years of experience working with some of the largest corporations in the United States, Europe and Asia to cut through the hype surrounding such well known quality techniques as Six Sigma, Lean, ISO 9001:2000, Baldridge and others.
