Excellent insight into Lean Six Sigma from a real world perspective:,
The first chapters provide an easy to follow overview of Lean. The origins and evolution of Lean are nicely summarized. Numerous success stories from Automotive, A&D, and High Tech explain how companies such as Toyota, Dell, GE, HP, and others have been successful.
Later chapters tell the Lean Six Sigma Story of the author’s company, Aircraft Braking Systems Corporation, ABSC.
We read how ABSC addressed production quality by understanding the importance of the pre-production design and launch process. Like many companies ABSC was managed in ‘Silos’ with various departments such as Engineering, Purchasing, and Manufacturing each working to their own performance metrics to the detriment of corporate performance. ABSC recognized this and implemented cross functional launch teams with members from the various departments with a common set of performance metrics. This concept has been applied in other industries and advocated by ‘Outside Experts’ but ABSC figured this out on their own, took ownership, and wrote their own success story.

|Looking Forward is Key to Quality,
Not just theory. Mr. Dirgo reflects the environment in which he lives and works. His is a purview of the methods, practices and perspectives that are the functional underpinnings of an extremely successful AS 9001: 2000 (Aerospace) registered Quality System that is harmonized with most other modern quality initiatives of Lean, 6 Sigma, etc. The writing is succinct and allows the reader to understand the “Look Forward” continuous approach that really makes it all come together without mystery, magic or esoteric hocus-pocus.
