"'Six Sigma: Understanding the Concept, Implications and Challenges', gently and in a novel way, takes the reader to understanding the importance of applied quality techniques in today's industry. Mario Perez-Wilson demonstrates how each 'opportunity of error' in a complex manufacturing or administrative process can mount into disastrous cumulative consequences, if each opportunity is not reduced to zero. Armed with statistical methods, it is possible to achieve zero-defective products in processes involving mass production in the order of the hundred thousand units, and this is what SIX SIGMA does. Like in the electronics industry, there are also many other processes in which it would be impossible to control the release of a flawless product or service if not counting with the power of a tool such as Six Sigma. this book clarifies concepts and introduces a new approach for people who must deal with quality issues, productivity, customer satisfaction, and profitability."

I've taken many courses on S.P.C. and process improvement that have presented one piece of the puzzle, but none of the courses have put it all together as well as what Mario does in the Machine/Process Capability course. This is by far the best training course I have taken."

Brian Decker - Senior Quality Engineer, Martin Marietta
"I have had the pleasure of knowing and working with Mario Perez-Wilson in three manufacturing facilities, in three different countries, in Malaysia, Singapore and Hong Kong, over the past 12 years. In my first association with him, I was the manager of a Motorola Semiconductor Wafer Manufacturing Facility in Malaysia. The engineering team learned and applied his methodology diligently, as part of an ongoing Six Sigma initiative. They achieved improvement in Cpk from 0.2 to 2.2 for a diffusion process, and from 0.24 to l.64 in a metal film deposition process. Both these improvements resulted in huge savings from scrap reduction, and improved profits. His [MPCpS] methodology, practiced with diligence,...leads to unraveling complex cause-effect relationships, and will result in optimum, predictable, stable and controlled processes..."
