A quick refresher of Lean Six Sigma elements
A well-organized, bullet-pointed listing of the big elements of the Lean Six Sigma processes. A great tool to have handy for referencing when the big kahuna wants to talk about the program. It's the size of a typical paperback novel and organized in a logical, intuitive fashion.

A motorcycle instruction book that does not send you to sleep.
This is the first motorcycle instruction book I have read from cover to cover that did not send me to sleep! Lee Parks knowledge of motorcycling is perhaps only surpassed by his mastery of the English language. The techniques described are clear, concise and easy to understand and have already had a positive impact on my riding ability. I would not hesitate to recommend this book to anyone ...

What is Lean Six Sigma

McGraw-Hill, 2003

An accelerated explanation of how to produce more and better results, in less time, and at a lower cost
It seems eminently appropriate that a book which explains what Lean Six Sigma is (and isn't) should exemplify the same principles it addresses: It delights its reader with the speed by which its material is covered and with the quality of that material, it offers immediate help with mastering whatever the given process (or processes) may be, its authors work effectively with their reader to ...

Handy Reference, Perfect for Training Seminar
If I had to give a 1-2 day seminar on the subject, this would be a handy handbook. For that purpose, it should be used, not as a general reference on lean manufacturing. If this review was helpful, please add your vote. Thanks.

Vision, 1997

A terrific read
This is an older novel that has lost none of its steam. Their are many twists and turns, but for the most part they retain the plausibility that often goes out the window. Since this is an older book and technology plays such a strong role, there are many things which technologically are out of date. If you look at it as a historical novel, albeit recent, that potential problem area fades ...

Lean, Mean Guide to Lean and Six Sigma
Of all the titles on lean six sigma, this is one of the few that delivers on the promise of a clear, easy-to-understand explanation of this common sense approach to driving out defects. The content is comprehensive and logically organized, and the style is user-friendly, without the usual thunderstorm of jargon and consultanese. Thank you for making lean six sigma understandable, and digestible.

This Book Is Essential Material!!!
I also own the definitive textbook on Six Sigma - "The Six Sigma Handbook" by Pyzdek. However, that being said. Pyzdek's book is over 800 pages long. And while it is the definitive textbook on the subject, Six Sigma For Dummies by Gygi can tell you every practical thing you need to know about Six Sigma in just over 300 pages. While I would not call it a textbook as in the case of Pyzdek's ...

New Academy Publishers, 2008

The system actually works!
It took me about 3 hours of reading the philosphy behind the system (this is important - don't skip it) and another 2 hours of setting up and tweaking Outlook. The first day or two afterwards were strange as I tried to get accustomed to the system, but now, after a few weeks, I couldn't live without it. It's not all about email management (that's a minor concern for me, although having a ...

Deming vs. Conventional Management
"This book is for people who are living under the tyranny of the prevailing style of management," writes Deming in the preface. Deming has strong convictions, many of which are counter to conventional management thinking. Deming does not believe in ratings and grades. He says performance is mostly attributable to the system in which that person works. "The forces of destruction that come ...

Handy and Useful, but pricey
This book is a concise reference for use by practitioners and those on the shop floor. I use it daily in our one square mile manufacturing complex. Our people understand the tools with help of the illustrations. The how to use the tools is clear. Sure some may be overwhelmed by the statistical detail; however, the graphs are useful in showing folks what we as a team are working towards. ...
