AI-Powered Lean Six SIGMA: Transforming Smart Manufacturing for the Next Decade

By Nikhil Pal

In today's high-stakes manufacturing environments, leaders don't need another abstract overview of artificial intelligence (AI) or a rehash of Lean fundamentals-- they need a hands-on guide that shows exactly how AI can be embedded within the DMAIC framework to drive measurable results. This book delivers just that: a concrete, practitioner- first playbook that integrates AI directly into each phase of DMAIC-- Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control-- rather than treating it as a separate initiative. Drawing on real-world applications from pharmaceuticals, medtech, electronics, and supply chain operations, it offers case-rich insights tailored to the complexity of regulated industries. Readers will find ready-to-use templates, checklists, and governance models designed for immediate implementation. With a balance of academic rigor and executive relevance, this resource is ideal for graduate programs, operational leaders, and innovation teams alike. Whether you're optimizing compliance- heavy workflows or scaling digital transformation, this book equips you to harness AI within a proven Lean Six Sigma structure-- ensuring your solutions are not only innovative, but auditable, scalable, and impactful.
