Reliability and Six Sigma

Reliability and Six Sigma offers a carefully developed integration of mathematical models that relate the Six Sigma quality management system and statistical reliability measures. The text provides a thorough explication of the core concepts of the disciplined Six Sigma program for quality management. Also introduced are the basic concepts of reliability and Six Sigma and their role in system effectiveness; essential probability and statistical techniques; tools and techniques for evaluation of system reliability; essential design-for-reliability tools. Case studies further integrate the material throughout the book to illustrate the application of the models.

There are few doubts about the impact of Six Sigma among practitioners and academics, and this book provides an integrated approach to reliability issues and problems and Six Sigma for successful implementation process and product improvement For the first time, this book introduces mathematical models that relate Six Sigma and reliability measures. Several case studies are used throughout the book to illustrate the application of the models discussed The main difference between other quality initiatives and Six Sigma is the disciplined quantitative approach used by Six Sigma for the process improvement. It uses the five macro phases for improvement: Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve and Control (DMAIC) The book is written by four authors, two from academia and two from industry Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
