A Well-Written Appetizer but No Entree Included,
A well-written book that gives insight into what ‘Six Sigma’ is all about – a change strategy for relentlessly driving defects out of your products, processes and services to increase profitability. It’s about leadership and a structured, data-based approach to problem solving. Having been a Wave 1 Black Belt at AlliedSignal during the launch of Six Sigma, I can verify that the Breakthrough methodology (DMAIC)really does work. For those of you who have been through numerous ‘TQ initiatives’ and countless SPC campaign with no real impact on business performance, the case studies presented in this book are enlightening.
On the negative side, for those who want a complete A to Z textbook on how to implement Six Sigma in their own organization, prepare to be disappointed. No information is provided on the statistical tools that go hand-in-hand with the DMAIC roadmap (I guess the Six Sigma Academy can’t give away all their secrets).
In summary, thumbs up if you want an overview and real-life examples of what Six Sigma is all about. Thumbs down in you want a detailed textbook or reference book on the subject.
