Lean Sigma: A Practitioner's Guide

Lean Sigma: A Practitioner's Guide, 9780132390781 (0132390787), Prentice Hall, 2006

Lean Sigma delivers resultsif you use the right tools and techniques. In Lean Sigma: A Practitioner's Guide, Dr. Ian Wedgwood captures best-practice Lean Sigma experience from multiple projects and industries, helping any professional identify the solution that will work bestand implement it.

Wedgwood's exclusive "project roadmaps" present the fastest, most effective route to solving a wide range of problemsand explain why those solutions make sense. His "discovery roadmaps" help you identify potential Lean Sigma projects, even in processes where there are no obvious targets.

The heart of Lean Sigma is Wedgwood's 48 individual "tools roadmaps": step-by-step instructions revealing exactly how and when to use all these Lean Sigma tools...

Whether you're a Green Belt, Black Belt, Master, Project Champion, Sponsor, Deployment Leader, or consultant, this book will help you use Lean Sigma to solve far more problems, far more rapidly, and far more effectively.

Dr. Ian Wedgwood, Executive Director of Sigma Breakthrough Technologies, has more than ten years of experience using, deploying, training, and consulting on Six Sigma and Lean Sigma. He has led and facilitated deployments in industries ranging from electronics and medical devices to chemicals and health care, and has trained and mentored numerous executives, champions, and belts. He holds a Ph.D. and First-Class Honors degree in Applied Mathematics from Scotland's St. Andrew's University.

Modern Aerodynamic Methods for Direct and Inverse Applications

John Wiley & Sons, 2019

Just when classic subject areas seem understood, the author, a Caltech, M.I.T. and Boeing trained aerodynamicist, raises profound questions over traditional formulations. Can shear flows be rigorously modeled using simpler “potential-like” methods versus Euler equation approaches? Why not solve aerodynamic...

Recent Advances In Data Mining Of Enterprise Data: Algorithms and Applications (Series on Computers and Operations Research)

World Scientific Publishing, 2008

The main goal of the new field of data mining is the analysis of large and complex datasets. Some very important datasets may be derived from business and industrial activities. This kind of data is known as enterprise data . The common characteristic of such datasets is that the analyst wishes to analyze them for the purpose of designing a...

Software Solutions for Engineers and Scientists

CRC Press, 2007

Our book was conceived as a programming toolkit and a problem-solving resource for professional engineers and scientists who take on the role of programmers. The book’s original idea was based on the fact that engineers and scientists often need to develop software to suit their particular needs, but hardly ever are they...

Thinking Recursively

John Wiley & Sons, 1986

At its essence, computer science is the study of problems and their solutions. More specifically, computer science is concerned with finding systematic procedures that guarantee a correct solution to a given problem. Such procedures are called algorithms.

This book is about a particular class of algorithms, called recursive algorithms,...
