Six Sigma is a customer-based manufacturing approach to realizing fewer defects and thus lowering costs and increasing customer satisfaction. This is a rigorous engineering book detailing the gritty, statistical work involved in making the Six Sigma process work in the electronics industry.

Successful Implementation of Concurrent Engineering Products and Processes Edited by Sammy G. Shina Sammy G. Shina's bestselling Concurrent Engineering and Design for Manufacture of Electronics Products demonstrated clearly how concurrent engineering can reduce time to market, improve design and product quality, increase employee activity, lower overall costs, and help boost customer satisfaction. Now, this natural follow-up book demonstrates through the use of case studies how the tools and methodologies of concurrent engineering have been successfully implemented at companies of varying...

This book is intended to introduce and familiarize design, production, quality, and process engineers, and their managers to the importance and recent developments in concurrent engineering (CE) and design for manufacturing (DFM) of new products. CE and DFM are becoming an important element of global competitiveness in terms of achieving high-quality and low-cost products. The new product design and development life cycle has become the focus of many manufacturing companies as a road map to shortening new product introduction cycles, and to achieving a quick ramp-up of production volumes....
