A Must Read!,
The authors did a great job on the book. I read it on an airplane earlier this week and really enjoyed it. It is very well written – very understandable at a novice level and insightful at the “supposed expert” level. I think it is
a “must read” for everyone in an organization deploying Lean Six Sigma or anybody interested in improving the economic value of their business.

|A Good Introduction,
According to the back cover, this book is “a quick introduction to using Lean Six Sigma.” Since you are looking at an introductory book, you are probably not familiar with Lean Six Sigma. The back cover again states, “Lean Six Sigma combines the two most important improvement trends of our time: making work better (using Six Sigma) and making work faster (using Lean Principles).” I believe this book accomplishes its stated goal. It’s 92 pages of quick reading introduce the reader to the Lean Six Sigma improvement process through definitions, explanations and examples.
The book is divided into two parts: Foundations of Lean Six Sigma and Implementing Lean Six Sigma. The foundation section covers the four keys to Lean Six Sigma and the five laws of Lean Six Sigma. The implementation section covers how to get started, introduces the reader to tools in the Lean Six Sigma toolkit, gives a public sector example of where Lean Six Sigma was used to make improvements and what management needs to do to support a successful Lean Six Sigma effort.
A reference book on Lean Six Sigma this book is not. If you are already familiar with Lean Six Sigma, then look elsewhere for more information. If you would like an introduction to Lean Six Sigma that is both understandable and easy to read, I highly recommend this book. Having read the book, I now feel better prepared to read additional Lean Six Sigma books that will take my knowledge and understanding to greater depths.
