"GREEN SIGMA: Harnessing the Power of Lean Six Sigma for Sustainable Climate Change Initiatives shows how Six Sigma and Lean Six Sigma can be applied now to climate change initiatives in clean energy, green transport, green supply chain, retrofitting buildings and climate adaptation. Taking a completely practical approach, the book begins with the background of Six Sigma and its hybrids and moves on to discuss the challenges of climate change and the initiatives to control and ameliorate it. It then describes the approaches and tools of Green Sigma' and shows how it can be used to manage climate change initiatives of all kinds and at all levels as efficiently, cost-effectively and sustainably as possible. This book is about what we can do now with training and teamwork as part of our global and local initiatives towards avoiding the worst effects of climate change"-- Provided by publisher.
