The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Lean Six Sigma
The perfect prescription for any organization
Increasingly popular with large and mid-sized companies around the world, Lean Six Sigma is the new hybridization of Six Sigma and Lean methodologies, and there is no better approach for achieving operational excellence in an organization.
But how do you implement Lean Six Sigma, and what does it entail?
The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Lean Six Sigma answers this question with unprecedented clarity and turnkey elegance. Part one gives you all the background you need to understand Lean Six Sigma – what it is, where it came from, what it has done for so many organizations and what it can do for you and your company.
Parts two and three of the book give you a prescribed yet flexible roadmap to follow in selecting, enacting and realizing improvements from Lean Six Sigma projects. Within this step-by-step structure, the authors demonstrate when and how to use the many Lean Six Sigma statistics and “tools”
great lean six sigma roadmap,
This book spoon-feeds Lean Six Sigma more effectively than I have seen. It is obvious that the authors took great care to create their graphics, and to present all the knowledge and tools that are needed to actually work with and use Lean Six Sigma. The book has an excellent roadmap in it with detailed steps showing the deployment leader what to do and when, as well as the practitioner, or person who is leading Lean Six Sigma projects. So I not only got the roadmap and steps, but I learned the tools I needed to apply each step of the way. Kudos to the authors.

|Lean Six Sigma Approach for Manufacturing & Service Systems,
The book is excellent for the Six Sigma approach for manufacturing and service systems. My only comment is that some mistakes exist in the book for the definition of mathematical symbols. For example on Page 38, the authors use the “summation sign” to define the symbol for the “standard deviation.” This is incorrect. Therefore, I will give this book a four-star instead of a five-star.
I will still recommend it for anybody interested in Lean Six Sigma.
