| Sommario/riassunto: | To some, the near perfection of the Six Sigma management system appears to be an impossible ideal, especially for small and medium enterprises.

It consists of three elements; fitness for purpose, fitness for improvement and integration, and fitness for sustainability. FIT SIGMA: A Lean Approach to Building Sustainable Quality Beyond Six Sigma shows how this tripartite approach can be used to add value to both large |
