Product Description
With the growing business industry there is a large demand for greater speed and quality, for projects of all natures in both small and large businesses.

Lean Six Sigma For Dummies outlines they key concepts in plain English, and shows you how to use the right tools, in the right place, and in the right way, not just in improvement and design projects, but also in your day–to–day activities. It shows you how to ensure the key principles and concepts of Lean Six Sigma become a natural part of how you do things so you can get the best out of your business and accomplish your goals better, faster and cheaper.

Format:Paperback
This is a concise and very clearly written handbook that walks you through some potentially quite difficult concepts. It's split into five well defined sections and is written in relatively jargon-free language.
I have been trained in a number of the tools and techniques covered, but that was some time ago and I had forgotten most of what I had learnt! This book was really helpful in reminding me of some of the tools that I now need to use and I had no difficulty in understanding what to do.
All in all, this is an excellent book both for a newcomer to the topic and to someone like me who needed a refresher.

Format:Paperback
This book is a simple, accessible overview of a simple, accessible methodology (Lean Six Sigma).
This book will not make you a specialist, nor a Green Belt (let alone a Black one), but will give you a good introduction to the concepts, methodology and tools of Lean Six Sigma. It also presents the Lean Six Sigma methodology mostly as plain common sense, which can be applied in practical contexts already on the basis of the content of this book.
The book also contains a useful set of web and book references that can be accessed for further reading and information.

For those who haven't done a course in products, processes and design this book is a must. Where one sees the expression "continuous improvement" this explains in pithy,... Read more

Covers the basics.
This book is ok and covers the basics. It doesn't really lead you down the path of how to put it all together and go out there and do it for yourself.

Great book
Easy to read as you would expect but does give a broad overview to a difficult subject
