Book Description

Based on the Juran Institute’s breakthrough method, Juran’s Six Sigma: Breakthrough and Beyond goes beyond certification or implementation processes discussed in most six sigma texts to prepare an organization's managers -- at all levels -- to deal with the practical day-to-day human, structural, and technological issues which arise when initiating and maintaining a Six Sigma effort.

Juran's Six Sigma: Breakthrough and Beyond allows you to modify your program to suit your individual requirements. With this book, you get everything you need to improve and maintain Six-Sigma breakthrough performance long after the consultants have packed up and gone home.

2.0 out of 5 stars Poor Book Quality, September 19, 2008
This review is from: Juran Institute's Six Sigma Breakthrough and Beyond: Quality Performance Breakthrough Methods (Hardcover)
Juran Institute is the standard that quality is based on in the industry. With great anticipation, I waited for this book. McGraw Hill the publisher should talk to the institute. The diagrams are probably the worst I have seen in 20 years. They look like they were copied on a dirty copy machine. The paper used for the book is poor and the typeface is huge. Frankly, I surprised that the Joran Institute would agree to publish this book with such poor printing quality.

5.0 out of 5 stars Breakthrough among Six Sigma books!, September 29, 2003

(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Juran Institute's Six Sigma Breakthrough and Beyond: Quality Performance Breakthrough Methods (Hardcover)
Six Sigma is all about breakthrough improvement. Without a breakthrough, achieving Six Sigma performance is impossible. Juran and Juran Institute are the most experienced in achieving and managing performance improvement. The Six Sigma: Breakthrough and Beyond book is unique as it is the only book that covers all aspects of achieving dramatic improvement.
