The task we have in our industry has gained in complexity since we produce our products in low cost labor countries and are remote from our geographical markets.

The 'Innovation Management Practice Handbook' gives you the tools to gain in innovative power and find all possibilities for improvement of your business performances for more added value.

"I believe DFSS project managers for manufacturing industries would certainly benefit from reading this publication, in particular companies that are relatively new in their implementation for Six Sigma and who just discovering the value of prevention in new product development (DFSS opportunity). I thoroughly enjoyed the concepts and examples given by an expert in the field of Innovation Management and DFSS. I would highly recommend this book for any practitioner in the area of Lean Six Sigma and Design for Six Sigma.'
