 Lean Six Sigma Approaches in Manufacturing, Services and Production

Introduction
     Lean Six Sigma has evolved progressively over time from quality efforts
within an enterprise that are independent, to complex systems changing the
concept from a simple network to complex alliance formation among firms. This
evolution has reflected the changes in business operations from static to
 dynamic environment. The changes created by these transformations present novel challenges and issues to new and established businesses alike. This uniqueness implied an important question about its sources and causes for an optimized effective solution. So, what does the future hold for quality as it moving from the national to the global arena? To answer this question, Global Lean Six Sigma: From Theory to Practice will cover the concept of global Lean Six Sigma
 trends and opportunities, and their impact on this new evolutionary identity.  The book will adopt an interdisciplinary approach focusing on research, cases, and emerging technologies.
