Product Description
As the original inventor of Six Sigma, Motorola has more experience with it than any other company. Recently, Motorola has considerably improved traditional Six Sigma techniques, and successfully applied them around the world, in many different types of organizations. This book is the first publication outlining Motorola's new innovations and improvements to Six Sigma, written by Motorola's Six Sigma directors. The book will be organized around a time principle - the past, present and future of Six Sigma.

In sidebars, the authors highlight global examples where Motorola's improved Six Sigma has had important results across cultures and markets. Lastly, the book points out the where Six Sigma is headed - toward the management of sustainable business results through sophisticated human capital asset management and software-based simulations.
