Making Six Sigma Last is a powerful action plan for managers!\"-Guenter Bulk, Managing Director, GE Capital IT SolutionsDas Six Sigma-Modell wurde in den 80er Jahren von Motorola entwickelt. In den letzten Jahren wurde es in Amerika verstärkt als Methode zur Steigerung von Effektivität und Effizienz eingesetzt. Six Sigma - das ist ein Katalog erprobter Managementtechniken und -methoden zur Fehlerreduzierung, Produktivitätssteigerung und zur Steigerung von Gewinn und Shareholder Value. Dieses Modell soll Unternehmen helfen, die Rentabilität zu steigern, indem sie sich auf das Verhältnis zwischen Produktionsfehler, Produktionsausbeute, Zuverlässigkeit, Kosten, Gesamtstückzeit und Zeitplan konzentrieren. \u003cbr\u003e Die Anwendung des Six Sigma-Modells heisst für jedes Unternehmen, einen tiefgreifenden Wandel zu durchlaufen, und zwar einen Wandel, der aus einer technischen und einer kulturellen Komponente besteht. Während der Vorgängertitel \"The Six Sigma Revolution\" vom gleichen Autor die technische Komponente behandelt, konzentriert sich \" \"Making Six Sigma Last\" in erster Linie auf Aspekte der Unternehmenskultur und geht folgenden Fragen nach: Wie schafft man die Voraussetzungen für die Einführung von Six Sigma? Wie erkennt man die vier Gegenargumente für eine Six Sigma-Einführung und wie überwindet man diesen Widerstand? Wie managt man Six Sigma-Systeme und -Strukturen und setzt diese erfolgreich ein?
