 A Six Sigma Primer February 25, 2007
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
If you're looking to learn about Six Sigma, this is the book to start with. It provides a good overview and quickly dispels the common myths (e.g. Six sigma is for manufacturing companies alone). It helps the reader to determine if Six Sigma is right for his/her organization, and provides clear steps demonstrating how to implement the six sigma roadmaps. It doesn't get too heavy into the advanced statistics, although there is a chapter that explains some of the tools and how they are used. Bottom line: While the reader may still need some assistance (from a trained Black Belt), this book provides the tools necessary to complete a six sigma project. I've read a few books on the topic and this was the most comprehensive - the best of the lot.
 Six Sigma MUST HAVE! Great Reference with Excellent Case Studies November 21, 2006
This is the ONE six sigma book that you need to have! It is a comprehensive and easy to read format - and can be used if you are simply interested in the subject, studying for six sigma certification, or as an excellent reference if you are already certified in six sigma.
I used this book as my primary reference while I was preparing for my Black Belt in Six Sigma - which I received from Bank of America. My six sigma project resulted in more than $5 million in annually recurring cost reductions!
The book includes fundamental overviews, step-by-step DMAIC process advice, illustrates basic math and statistical requirement, and great business case studies - AND BEST OF ALL - has Six Sigma checklists at the back of the book that show the necessary things needed for each phase.
No Six Sigma advocate should be without this book!
 Good overview but little substance November 4, 2006

This audio book was more of a cheerleader for six sigma than a book to gain knowledge. It would be a good source of information if you have never heard of six sigma, but otherwise it is not very useful. The reader also has an annoying voice.
Cost Reduction, Increased Productivity, and Loyal Costumers - All Achievable with Six Sigma July 17, 2006
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
Six sigma is a quality system that has helped world class companies save millions and gain costumer. It was brought into fame by the legendary Jack Welch during his years at General Electric.
This book is a comprehensive self-help guide to adapting and using the six sigma system under various conditions. Half of the book focuses on implementation through a detailed and flexible five-step "road map", filled with practical directions.
Either if you are looking to solve an specific process problem, or want to implement six sigma company wide, this book will help you develop a method that fits the specific needs of your company or organization.
This book is a must read for anyone involved with quality systems, or who wants to learn about six sigma.
You may want to consider also "The sis sigma way, Team fieldbook" by the same authors. It is the perfect complement for a practical implementation guide.
The definitive introduction to the subject August 4, 2004
11 out of 12 found this review helpful
For those who want a clear, concise (if not comprehensive) introduction to Six Sigma, this is the place to start. The authors offer an enticing glimpse into the real-world application of Six Sigma tools and techniques. While not to be considered the be-all, end-all (see authors like Breyfogle or Pyzdek for that), The Six Sigma Way is the book to read if you're contemplating a Six Sigma effort and need fundamental knowledge, a starting point for more thorough treatment of the subject (which can be daunting in its comprehensiveness). Highly recommended, especially with the companion guide.
