Technology companies can only achieve the full benefits of Six Sigma if they implement it proactively, starting with the earliest stages of technology development and product design, link it to a well-structured product development process, and rigorously manage it. Design for Six Sigma in Technology and Product Developmentshows how. Authors Clyde Creveling, Jeff Slutsky, and David Antis Jr. present step-by-step techniques, flow diagrams, scorecards, and checklists, plus the first complete introduction to Critical Parameter Management (CPM), the breakthrough approach to managing complex product development.
