Six Sigma

Six Sigma

There are a number of distinctive features of this book that makes it different from other on Six Sigma. It recognizes that there are two diametrically opposing views expressed on Six Sigma those that are strongly in favour and those that are not for various reasons. The book deals head on with the principle reasons for such hostility. It cuts through the hype associated with the brand name. It proposes simple remedies for certain defined frailties in the standard approach particularly those related to the Sigma Measure that provides the brand name for the Six Sigma breakthrough strategy. The book is highly supportive of the Six Sigma continuous improvement process provided it is tailored to the needs and expectations of a particular organization. The commitment and active participation of top management is emphasized to ensure the necessary change in culture and priorities demanded in most organizations. Practical guidance is given in the setting up operating and developing the project by project approach across an organisation. The book also covers how to equip a critical mass of members in an organization with the core workforce competencies required to get the desired results. The book covers the realities of applying Six Sigma in a range of functions within an organization and also to various types of organizations from the manufacturing sector to commerce and public service. It demonstrates how statistical thinking coupled with the application of technical and operational knowledge of processes and focus provided by Six Sigma can considerably enhance quality competitiveness effectiveness and efficiency. Statistical process control is a tool which enables both manufacturers and suppliers to achieve control of product quality by means of the application of statistical methods in the controlling process.

The Green Six Sigma Handbook A Complete Guide for Lean Six Sigma Practitioners and Managers

The Green Six Sigma Handbook A Complete Guide for Lean Six Sigma Practitioners and Managers

This book is a hands-on single-source reference of tools techniques and processes integrating both Lean and Six Sigma. This comprehensive handbook provides up-to-date guidance on how to use these tools and processes in different settings such as start-up companies and stalled projects as well as establish enterprises where the ongoing drive is to improve processes profitability and long-term growth. It contains the hard Six Sigma approach as well as the flexible approach of FIT SIGMA which is adaptable to manufacturing and service industries and also public sector organisations. You will also discover how climate change initiatives can be accelerated to sustainable outcomes by the holistic approach of Green Six Sigma. The book is about what we can do now with leadership training and teamwork in every sphere of our businesses. Lean originally developed by Toyota is a set of processes and tools aimed at minimising wastes. Six Sigma provides a set of data-driven techniques to minimise defects and improve processes. Integrating these two approaches provides a comprehensive and proven approach that can transform an organisation. To make change happen we need both digital tools and analog approaches. We know that there has been a continuous push to generate newer approaches to operational excellence such as Total Quality Management Six Sigma Lean Sigma Lean Six Sigma and FIT SIGMA. It is vital that we harness all our tools and resources to regenerate the economy after the Covid-19 pandemic and make climate change initiatives successful for the survival of our planet. Six Sigma and its hybrids (e. g. Lean Six Sigma) should also play a significant part. Over the last three decades operational performance levels of both public sector and private sector organisations improved significantly and Lean Six Sigma has also acted as a powerful change agent. We urgently need an updated version of these tools and approaches. The Green Six Sigma Handbook not only applies appropriate Lean and Six Sigma tools and approaches fitness for the purpose but it aims at sustainable changes. This goal of sustainability is a stable bridge between Lean Six Sigma and climate change initiatives. Hence when the tools and approaches of Lean Six Sigma are focused and adapted primarily to climate change demands we get Green Six Sigma. | The Green Six Sigma Handbook A Complete Guide for Lean Six Sigma Practitioners and Managers

Six Moments in Lacan Communication and identification in psychology and psychoanalysis

Six Moments in Lacan Communication and identification in psychology and psychoanalysis

Many first-time readers of Jacques Lacan come to his work via psychology a discipline that Lacan was notoriously antagonistic toward. Six Moments in Lacan takes up the dual challenge of introducing Lacanian psychoanalysis to an audience interested in psychology while also stressing the fundamental differences between the two disciplines. Punctuated by lively examples Six Moments in Lacan demonstrates the distinctive value of Lacanian concepts in approaching afresh topics such as communication identity otherness and inter-subjectivity. Avoiding the jargon and wilful obscurity that so often accompanies expositions of Lacan’s psychoanalytic theories this book puts Lacanian ideas to work in practical and illuminating ways. A handful of concepts draw from distinct moments in Lacan’s teaching are contextualized and explained and applied to the task of exploring the ‘psychological’ and unconscious dimensions of everyday life. Notions such as the ‘big Other’ ‘full’ versus ‘empty’ speech logical time ‘imaginary’ and ‘symbolic’ identification and the idea of ‘the master signifier’ are brought to life via popular cultural references. Revitalizing several Freudian and Lacanian concepts for everyday use Six Moments in Lacan asks – and answers – a series of compelling questions: Why is it that each instance of speech implies a listener? Why is the notion of subjectivity inadequate when it comes to the ‘trans-subjective’ nature of language? Is it possible to elaborate a ‘non-psychological’ theory of identification? Why is a Lacanian approach to ‘the subject’ so at odds with models proposed by psychology? Six Moments in Lacan provides an accessible and highly engaging introduction to Lacan and Lacanian psychoanalysis aimed at early practitioners and students in psychoanalysis psychotherapy and those studying upper undergraduate and postgraduate level psychology. | Six Moments in Lacan Communication and identification in psychology and psychoanalysis

Social Sciences The Big Issues

Social Sciences The Big Issues

Fully revised and updated the fourth edition of Social Sciences: The Big Issues explores key debates about how we live our personal domestic and emotional lives at a time of enormous previously unimaginable change and disruption including a pandemic that locked down households and economies. Since the third edition everyone’s life has changed. The pandemic – at least temporarily – stopped social life as we knew it and virtually forced governments to close down their economies. This is where this edition of The Big Issues starts. Staying at home posed a radical departure from routine life but reactions to Covid-19 have exposed the endurance of particular social relations – especially inequalities – which characterize societies worldwide. A few of the new big issues covered in this edition include: Changing selves and personal lives in light of racism and sexual and identity politics in a pandemic Changing patterns of consumption in relation to market production and what it means for climate change Changing intersections of citizenship migration and globalization in the context of the virus crossing borders and both the opportunities and sources of inequality involved Changing ideas about power politics and populism in the aftermath of Brexit Building on the strong foundation of this well-loved text this fully revised fourth edition explores how big issues and social forces intersect to create both change and evidence of continuity especially of social inequalities. It provides a clear accessible introduction to the ideas and approaches of the social sciences across a range of disciplines including sociology psychology and politics. | Social Sciences The Big Issues
