5.0 out of 5 stars Definitive pocket guide, 22 Feb 2006

BikeMan (Reading, UK) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Lean Six Sigma Pocket Toolbook: A Quick Reference Guide to 70 Tools for Improving Quality and Speed (Paperback)

This is a small, but very handy reference that supports the other Lean Six Sigma (LSS) books from the George Group. It contains virtually all of the detail needed by a LSS practitioner (for Black Belts & Green Belts), but keeps an easy to digest style.

It scores over the other pocket guides on the market (there are many) because it is a 'proper' book (not a wire bound pad) and has an easy to read text size. The theory is filled out with simple examples.

It also maintains the balance between Lean and Six Sigma tools and provides the detail needed for both.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good if you know where to start......., 17 April 2009

RJ Sessions (North WOrcestershire) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Lean Six Sigma Pocket Toolbook: A Quick Reference Guide to 70 Tools for Improving Quality and Speed (Paperback)

This book is an excellent guide and very useful.

You do need a reasonable understanding of the tools contained as it is NOT a step by step guide.

R Redfern (Lancs, UK) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Lean Six Sigma Pocket Toolbook: A Quick Reference Guide to 70 Tools for Improving Quality and Speed (Paperback)

A really nice compact book with an open and easy style for quick reference on the key tools that help with Lean Six Sigma problem solving.

Lots of pictures and diagrams supporting explainations.

I would be happy recommend this to add to a belt's library as tool reference book in support training in a deployment.
