5.0 out of 5 stars Superb Toolbook for Reference!!, 31 May 2006

By	Pito Perez "d31una" (Aberdeen) - 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)

It is a great guide for Six Sigma, I bought it because I took quite a lot of lectures on different Six Sigma topics at University, but now that I'm working I needed to refresh my mind and this book has proven to be very handy in terms of reference. Now, half of my time is destined to Six Sigma Projects and this toolbook has helped me to keep the Six Sigma Structure when doing a project, as well as referring to different statistical tools which I might have forgotten. I would highly recommend this book if you have already a background knowledge of Six Sigma, but if you are just starting with this methodology I would advice to look for more in-deep books.

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

By	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 Nearly 100 Tools For Improving, 26 Mar 2008

By	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.
