A recent study indicates that most leading companies target quality by incorporating lean simplification and demand flow techniques with Six Sigma defect reduction.

The survey, conducted by Best Practices LLC on behalf of the Global Benchmarking Council, features 84 companies in manufacturing, transportation, health care, communications, financial services and other industries. It’s intended to identify the most prevalent practices for implementing lean, Six Sigma and other productivity platforms.

Quality Digest does not charge readers for its content. We believe that industry news is important for you to do your job, and Quality Digest supports businesses of all types.

However, someone has to pay for this content. And that’s where advertising comes in. Most people consider ads a nuisance, but they do serve a useful function besides allowing media companies to stay afloat. They keep you aware of new products and services relevant to your industry. All ads in Quality Digest apply directly to products and services that most of our readers need. You won’t see automobile or health supplement ads.

Our PROMISE: Quality Digest only displays static ads that never overlay or cover up content. They never get in your way. They are there for you to read, or not.

So please consider turning off your ad blocker for our site.
