Awesome Book!
great reference
I bought this book hoping to use it as a reference for my upcoming Six Sigma Black Belt exam. The index is ridiculously poor for a book with almost 600 pages. For example, if you look for Control Chart, it's not in the index. OK, how about Statistical Process Control? Nope. Maybe SPC you say? Nada. How on earth you write 600 pages of Six Sigma material, but don't put these terms in the index, makes no sense at all. I'm returning this one!
Great book
This is an outstanding book and a significant addition to the literature in the science of "quality." I have spent the past 35 years managing software and hardware teams in the computer industry and wish such a book had been available many years ago. The Lean Six Sigma Black Belt Handbook is much more than a guide to eliminating defects, improving quality, increasing speed, and eliminating cost. It is a concise, yet complete, reference guide to all aspects of Lean Six Sigma. Chapter by chapter it builds a foundation that the reader can absorb a piece at a time. It bridges theory with practical application and provides an inordinate amount of detail in describing and defining the enormous, and sometimes daunting, number of concepts, tools, and processes. A glance thru the table of context can be a bit intimidating but actually acts as a reference guide to those who have some familiarity with Six Sigma and Lean but wish to go deeper or brush up on some detail or nuance during an actual project or simply gaining more knowledge about the subject. I personally enjoyed the many references and linkages to the heritage of the field of quality that I first became familiar with so many years ago...such as TQM and the Toyota Production System. How far we have come. This book certainly "stands on the shoulders of giants!"Mark SorensonSenior Vice President, EMC Corporation (Retired)
The subtitle of this handbook says is all, “Tools and Methods for Process Accelerationâ€. This book is a rare treat in the highly competitive industry that tries to meet the needs of the Six Sigma Lean Community. I have read many a book devoted to different aspects of Six Sigma, Lean, Statistics, and Business Process/Performance Improvement, but none can compare to the breadth and depth covered in this new book.The LSSBB Handbook provides both a comprehensive listing of all the tools utilized by the Lean Six Sigma Community as well as ways to apply and integrate these into cohesive solutions for various industries. The book presents the tools, shows how they fit into a systematic approach to Business Process/Performance Improvement, and also serves as a tremendous textbook that can be used to teach these in an integrated manner. The integration goes further by utilizing examples as the tools and methods are explained and then at the end of each chapter provides the professor and the student with Exercises to further practice these applications.I highly recommend this book to any other professor at the College or University level who is planning to teach this course. It is extremely well laid out and will make your time spent more efficient and effective.Ricardo R. Fernandez
This book is really enlightening and tohorough, specially the introduction.There is no doubt that the Lean six sigma process/mindset is of great benefit for any company/individual that wants to thrive in their endeavors.
