Six Sigma is a management program that provides tools that help manufacturers obtain efficient, stream-lined production to coincide with ultimate high quality products. Lean Six Sigma will show how the well-regarded analytical tools of Six Sigma quality control can be successfully brought into the well-established models of lean manufacturing, bringing efficient, stream-lined production and high quality product readily together. This book offers a thorough, yet concise introduction to the essential mathematics of Six Sigma, with solid case examples from a variety of industrial settings, culminating in an extended case study. Various professionals will find this book immensely useful, whether it be the industrial engineer, the industrial manager, or anyone associated with engineering in a technical or managing role. It will bring about a clear understanding of not only how to implement Six Sigma statistical tools, but also how to do so within the bounds of Lean manufacturing scheme. It will show how Lean Six Sigma can help reinforce the notion of less is more, while at the same time preserving minimal error rates in final manufactured products. *Reviews the essential statistical tools upon which Six Sigma rests, including normal distribution and mean deviation and the derivation of 1 sigma through six sigma *Explains essential lean tools like Value-Stream Mapping and quality improvement tools like Kaizen techniques within the context of Lean Six Sigma practice *Extended case study to clearly demonstrate how Six Sigma and Lean principles have been actually implemented, reducing production times and costs and creating improved product quality.

Aufgrund neuer rechtlicher Regelungen zur Produktverantwortung gewinnt die frühzeitige Entwicklung von Rücknahme- und Recyclingstrategien für die betroffenen Unternehmen an Bedeutung. Um hochwertige Recyclingkreisläufe auf Produkt- und Komponentenebene umzusetzen, müssen vermehrt Closed-Loop Supply Chains, d.h. um Demontage- und Recyclingunternehmen erweiterte Supply Chains, gestaltet werden. Marcus Schröter analysiert die rechtlichen, technischen und betriebswirtschaftlichen Rahmenbedingungen bei der Gestaltung von Closed-Loop Supply Chains. Im Mittelpunkt steht die Wiederverwendung von Produktkomponenten zur Sicherstellung der Ersatzteilversorgung in der Nachserie. Auf der Basis von System Dynamics entwickelt der Autor ein strategisches Planungsinstrument zur Simulation und betriebswirtschaftlichen Bewertung von Closed-Loop Supply Chains, welches er im Rahmen einer Fallstudie zur Ersatzteilversorgung in der Elektronikindustrie validiert.
