Author Description
This definitive book provides the core measurement tools that Motorola, winner of the 1988 Malcolm Baldridge National Quality Award, uses to consistently produce high-calibre products as part of their drive to attain Six Sigma Quality--only 3.4 defects per million opportunities for error. Producibility Analysis and Process Characterization are groundbreaking engineering and statistical techniques for determining the probability that each manufacturing process will always yield identical products with zero defects.
Menrva's Summary
THE THESIS
This book investigates the statistical and engineering methodologies required to achieve Six Sigma quality standards in manufacturing environments. Authors J. Ronald Lawson and Mikel J. Harry leverage their experience with Motorola’s quality initiatives to present a rigorous framework for process characterization. The text argues that by applying specific measurement tools, organizations can reduce defect rates to 3.4 per million opportunities, thereby ensuring consistent product output.
