Six Sigma has become a widely recognized strategic tool to improve business performance and profitability. Many books cover basic Six Sigma concepts, but none detail the most critical element of its improvement methodology: performance measurements. Without a strong grasp of performance metrics, a company can have no clear, quantitative indication of its quality improvement. “The Six Sigma Business Scorecard” is a unique approach to measuring performance. It allows companies to track their improvements in quality and profitability - and make adjustments if such improvements are not up to expectations - while implementing Six Sigma. Without a comprehensive performance measurement strategy, your company can’t hope to reap the many benefits of Six Sigma. This guidebook will show you how to implement a successful, statistically rigorous Six Sigma program. It provides numerical methods for evaluating a corporation’s Six Sigma success (or lack thereof). It is written by an author with twelve years teaching experience at Motorola University. It builds on the recognized Business Scorecard approach.

ACTION PHILOSOPHERS!

The Action Philosophers series employs broad humor and a cartoony art style with the goal of making the often complex and metaphorical ideas of philosophy more easily understood than a traditional text would. Pop culture references often occur, including radical changes in art style that pay homage to famous cartoonists including Jack Kirby, Charles M. Schulz and Bil Keane. The creators themselves sometimes appear in the comics themselves - most notably in the Derrida story, in which the story deconstructs into itself. Philosophical theories are examined in as objective a light as possible, with emphasis often given to the thinkers themselves, and how their lives shaped their ideas.

# 1: - Nietzsche, Bodhidharma, & Plato: “Wrestling Superstar Of Ancient Greece!”, featuring one of the series’ most famous lines, “PLATO SMASH!”
# 2: - The “All Sex Special”, Featuring Ayn Rand, Thomas Jefferson, & Saint Augustine.
# 3: - “Self Help For Stupid Ugly Losers” Featuring Freud, Carl Jung, & Joseph Campbell.
# 4: - “World Domination Handbook” Featuring Karl Marx, Machiavelli, & The Kabbalah.
# 5: - “Hate The French” Featuring Descartes, Sartre, & Jaques Derrida.
# 6: - “The People’s Choice” Featuring Kierkegaard, St. Thomas Aquinas, & Ludwig Wittgenstein.
# 7: - “It’s All Greek To You” Featuring The Pre-Socratics, Aristotle, & Epictetus.
