New Book on Simulation-Based Lean Six-Sigma and Design for Six-Sigma Provides a Solid Base for the Theoretical and Practical Aspects of Discrete Event Simulation (DES).

DUBLIN, Ireland -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c47849) has announced the addition of Simulation-based Lean Six-Sigma and Design for Six-Sigma to their offering.

This book concentrates on Six Sigma (DMAIC) and DFSS in simulation environments. For example, axiomatic design, design for X, theory of inventive problem solving (TRIZ), transfer function and scorecards are really powerful methods to create superior service improvements or designs; that is, to do the right things within our whole quality perspective. This book also brings another class of powerful methods in transaction-based simulation arena such as DOE and Lean Manufacturing into its toolbox.

This book is the first to address Simulation-based Six Sigma and Design for Six Sigma and present approaches to applications via several case studies. This books main distinguishing feature is its completeness and comprehensiveness starting from high-level overview, deployment aspects and service problem-solving and design toolboxes. Most of the important topics in both Six Sigma and DFSS are discussed clearly and in depth along with their implementation in simulation environment. The implementation, theoretical, and practical aspects of Six Sigma and DFSS roadmap and their associated toolboxes and methods are all covered very carefully and in complete detail.

The book also provides a solid base for the theoretical and practical aspects of Discrete Event Simulation (DES). This is the only book that discusses all transaction-based Six Sigma and DFSS perspectives, such as Transfer functions, Axiomatic Design and DOE methods in great detail. This book can be used ideally either as a complete reference book on Six Sigma or on Simulation Modeling, or a complete training material for Six Sigma teams.
