Move Six Sigma Savings to Your Bottom Line.

Most business process improvement activities do not yield the P&L dollar savings impact that executives expect to see. If this is a challenge in your organization, you need Six Sigma Financial Tracking and Reporting. This operating manual shows Master Black Belts, Black Belts, Project Champions, Sponsors, and Six Sigma and Lean Manufacturing/Enterprise practitioners how to increase the yield of savings dollars that hit the bottom line. This is a major challenge for any improvement initiative.

Loaded with advanced yet practical approaches, leadership pearls, and analytical solutions you can use to get more out of your improvement activities, this book:

  • Clarifies why some savings do not have a P&L impact
  • Explains the interplay between Six Sigma savings and business activities
  • Makes it easier for operations managers, accountants, and engineers to speak the same language

Success stories and actions taken at Motorola, Agilent, Allied Signal, General Electric, a private healthcare foundation, and other organizations will hold your interest and provide a steady stream of innovative ideas that will demystify accounting procedures, clarify the role of leadership, and gain more alignment inside the organization.
