Not a how-to book 23 Dec 2003
By "walljp1" - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
Broad overview, it mentions Six Sigma tools but does not give you details or good examples. Don't waste your money if you already know anything about Six Sigma.

Design for Success 22 Aug 2003
By "qualchapman" - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
Very readable and applicable to new product introduction success. I liked the use of sidebars and icons for definitions,tools, cautions, tricks of the trade, examples and smart managing tips. Management checklists at the end of each chapter were good for summarizing and action planning. Generous use of references for more detailed information on specific tools and methods allowed focus on main topic of DFSS methodology and organization/management issues of implementation. Left me with desire to get more involved with DFSS in new product development to improve a company's growth.
Decent Introduction 29 Aug 2009
By Edward J. Barton - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
A nice introduction to DFSS principles. It will help if you have some background to Six Sigma before reading the book, but the book itself is easy to read, well laid out, and good for providing an overview of the DFSS principles, implementation, challenges, limitations, tools and approaches. The target for the book would be the executive or champion who needs to become more familiar with DFSS - as opposed to someone who already has a strong working knowledge of the approach.
