Lean Six Sigma

Drawing on cutting-edge neuroscience, behavioral psychology, and Lean Six Sigma principles, this groundbreaking book explores how lasting transformation happens not through better tools—but through rewiring how people think, feel, and act.

This is your complete guide to building rhythmic, waste-free production cells that deliver quality at speed—just in time.

Quality Statistics Made Simple! Brainstorming is a conceptualizing process that is well-known for producing a large number of ideas in a short period of time. It serves as a tool for identifying difficulties and causes. This book offers an in-depth guide to the tool.

Every organization struggles with waste—lost time, hidden costs, and inefficient processes that drain performance. This book introduces you to the mindset and principles of Value Stream Mapping (VSM), showing how to see waste clearly, understand its impact, and build the foundation for continuous improvement.

The first book in the Plant Manager Series. Learn how to design Power BI dashboards for OEE, quality, production, TPM, and continuous improvement using practical manufacturing examples.

In diesem praxisorientierten Leitfaden verbindet Professor Mohammed Hamed Ahmed Soliman – Lean-Experte, Executive Advisor und Autor von über 100 Fachpublikationen – die bewährten Prinzipien des Toyota-Produktionssystems mit modernen digitalen Fertigungstechnologien.

In The Complete FMEA Handbook präsentiert Bestsellerautor Mohammed Hamed Ahmed Soliman, bekannt durch Practical Guide to FMEA and Risk Assessment Using FMEA, ein modernes Standardwerk für Ingenieure, Führungskräfte und Qualitätsfachleute. Aufbauend auf den bewährten Konzepten seines früheren Werks bietet dieses Buch neue Praxisbeispiele, aktuelle KI-Anwendungen und erweiterte Einblicke für die Anforderungen moderner Unternehmen.

Wenn Sie ein kleines Unternehmen führen, wissen Sie, wie anstrengend es sein kann, den täglichen Betrieb aufrechtzuerhalten. Ständiges Krisenmanagement, unklare Verantwortlichkeiten, wiederkehrende Fehler und chaotische Abläufe sind keine Zeichen von Wachstum – sie sind Anzeichen eines Systems, das verbessert werden muss.

The Global Quality Excellence Paradigm clarifies the landscape of modern quality management. Discover what each framework does best: ISO 9001 for reliable systems, TQM for culture, EFQM and Baldrige for holistic performance, and Lean Six Sigma for precision and speed. Learn how to integrate them into a single, powerful management system that ensures compliance, drives improvement, and delivers sustainable results. A complete reference for leaders and practitioners committed to quality, performance, and value creation.

In this groundbreaking guide, Dr. Mohammed Hamed Ahmed Soliman — engineer, professor, and industry consultant — takes you on a practical journey into the world of AI-driven maintenance. You’ll discover how to transform operational data into actionable intelligence, reduce unplanned failures, extend equipment life, and maximize return on assets.

Error-proofing is no longer just about simple jigs and sensors. In the era of Industry 4.0, factories demand smarter, AI-powered approaches to achieve zero defects at the source.

Many companies chase lean tools—kanban, takt time, one-piece flow—but fail to grasp the deeper philosophy behind them. While Just-in-Time (JIT) gets most of the spotlight, it’s Jidoka—the second pillar of the Toyota Production System (TPS)—that makes quality truly sustainable.

Just-in-Time Production takes you behind the scenes of Toyota’s revolutionary system, showing how the company emerged stronger than competitors after the 1970 oil crisis and became a global benchmark in manufacturing excellence. Learn why Western automakers misunderstood JIT—and how Lean Thinking, as popularized by James P. Womack, revealed the true power of connecting the whole value chain to customer demand.

One piece flow (or single-piece flow) is a lean manufacturing strategy where products are moved through production steps one unit at a time, rather than in batches. It improves efficiency and reduces waste by eliminating inventory bottlenecks between workstations, allowing for faster delivery and better quality control.

This practical guide introduces Value Stream Mapping (VSM)—a foundational Lean tool that visually captures every step in the flow of materials and information required to deliver a product or service. Used effectively, process mapping enables teams to identify waste, streamline workflows, and align operations with customer value.
