Good Introduction for those who are confused about Six Sigma,
I wanted to know about Six Sigma. I read some articals, but did not get a good picture of Six Sigma. This book is quite readable, interesting and provides a good introduction to Six Sigma. I recommend it to any one as the first book towards Six Sigma initiative.

|Excellent birds-eye view of Six Sigma,
As a manager with a 4-year background in Statistical Process Control, I cannot agree with the two reviewers that bashed this book. I can’t say it’s in depth, because that’s one thing that it isn’t: don’t expect it in your Black or Green Belt’s curriculum. But if you stick to the title, it will reward its readers (mostly managers, I’d hope). It deals in very clear and easy-to-follow words (even for those of you that have been out of school for many, many years) with what is Six Sigma, what it entails (in terms of cost, benefits, cultural mindset change), how to implement and sustain, etc. It even devotes an entire section to an overview of the statistical tools required to get your arms around Six Sigma for the first time.
Again, I’d not use it as a reference for in depth matters, but as a primer on the topic, I think it does an excellent job.

|One more good book on lean logistics,
This book gives a good overall picture of lean logistics from different angles, not going into much detail. Must read for all exec level, who should understand the impact and benefits of adapting lean logistics combined with six sigma.
As authors mentioned, today many managements go after transportation expenses without understanding “total logistics cost”. Who ever understand the concept of “total logistics cost”, they will be able to derive advantages of lean logistics.

|They say it can’t be done…,
I would suggest this book to anyone interested in Lean, Six-Sigma, or Logistics. Dr. Goldsby and Mr. Martichenko take three subject matters and blend them into a well orchestrated logistics model that would make any logistics professional re-think the way s/he is executing their logistics plan. Anyone from a truck driver or dock worker to the CEO of a fortune 500 company could benefit from having his or her eyes opened to the amount of waste and imperfections that happen within the Logistics industry. It’s surprising to think that so many companies are too busy trying to implement Lean and Six-Sigma into their production/outbound that they are losing money hand over foot with their logistics. Great Buy! Great Investment! Highly recommended!
