Six Sigma in the Pharmaceutical Industry: Understanding, Reducing, and Controlling Variation in Pharmaceuticals and Biologics
The pharmaceutical industry is under increasing pressure to do more with less. Drug discovery, development, and clinical trial costs remain high and are subject to rampant inflation. Ever greater regulatory compliance forces manufacturing costs to rise despite social demands for more affordable health care.

Six Sigma in the Pharmaceutical Industry: Understanding, Reducing, and Controlling Variation in Pharmaceuticals and Biologics is the first book to focus on the building blocks of understanding and reducing variation using the Six Sigma method as applied specifically to the pharmaceutical industry.

Six Sigma in the Pharmaceutical Industry: Understanding, Reducing, and Controlling Variation in Pharmaceuticals and Biologics,
I have all the books written by John McConnell. The detail he provides is enableing me to begin a consulting business. I had the pleasure of being one of his students while working for a Pharmaceutical company in Indiana called Eli Lilly and Co. I began using his teachings there and have used them for the company for 15 years while working there. I also began teaching his program to many others in the manufacture of Human Insulin. We made many improvements using the techniques from his books and was able to save millions of dollars. One of our Directors also made a review of his work on an ealerlier book. (you can see this review on his website)
There are many books on this subject. However, his works are written so well anyone can read his work and begin to put it in practice and should begin seeing results in short order.
You can read the other books on the subject but if you want something you can get your team to understand quickly then read this book. Your bottom line will thank you for it.
Oh, if I could make one recommendation….Mr. McConnell should have left off the words in his title, “for the Pharmaceutical Industry”. The information in this book can and has helped many different kinds of businesses.
If anyone would like to ask me personally about his work you can write me at <expoconosailor@aol.com>
