Product Description

Book Description
Cutting through Six Sigma’s strange terminology and consultancy speak, this guide aims to remove the mystique by delivering Six Sigma in a down to earth, approachable and logical format.
MINITAB®: For each tool, this guide details how to enter the data into MINITAB and interpret the results, whilst providing hints and tips to help avoid the common pitfalls.
Interactive: Data files and templates for all the examples are available online
Routemaps: A logical flow is provided through each DMAIC phase, and detailed routemaps are provided for graphical tools, hypothesis tests and Statistical Process Control (SPC) charts.

Who should use this book?
Six Sigma Trainees: Both during and after training, this guide provides an invaluable reference text to those who are actually implementing Six Sigma methodologies in an organisation.
Six Sigma Project Sponsors and Managers: For those who are accountable for deploying Six Sigma throughout an organisation, but who might not have been Six Sigma trained, this guide will provide an overview and crash course in the tools and techniques that your project teams are trained in.
Six Sigma has a lot of new terminology, and this guide aims to cut through that terminology in order to enable Six Sigma managers to connect with those that have been trained.

From the Publisher
A long awaited pocket guide to Six Sigma that provides practical advice on the Six Sigma tools alongside detailed instructions for the MINITAB software where applicable.

5.0 out of 5 stars Essential for Black and Green Belts., 16 Feb 2006
I originally had a copy of this book (naughty I know) but I found it so useful and invaluable that I had to buy a proper copy. I am a certified Black Belt and I am not exaggerating when I say that I refer to this book almost every day. I referred to it extensively for my very first project and it made me think about areas that I had not even covered in my training such as always doing a Voice of the Customer (VOC) and summarising sections with a Problem Definition Sheet (really kept me on track).

The book links in with Minitab very well and provides you with the correct route for commonly used tools which is very useful if you have not had formal Minitab training. If you ever go on Minitab training you will be amazed at how many people have this book open in front of them!

I work in a Service (Transactional) based industry (major mobile telecoms provider) and this book is perfect for transactional projects and point of view.

The authors website (listed in the book) is also excellent and links in with the book with data files, project charter template etc. You can also download a customised Minitab profile giving easy access to the most commonly used Minitab tools.

The book may seem expensive but I can assure you that it is worth every single penny! You will never regret buying this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Living with the Toolbox Guide for Six Sigma and Minitab, 3 Jun 2004
By Roy.G.F. Hickman (Ubstadt - Weiher Germany) - See all my reviews
For a start, let me get an irritant out of the way. Most reference books that I have seen on the subject will give you a hernia if you try to carry them about! The author has done a good job here. Not only is A5 a great size for daily use, but the thoughtful use of plasticised covers will ensure a durable product.
Now to the content. Many Belts are confused post training. They come to Six Sigma poorly equipped to deal with complex processes in a structured and rigorous manner. The examples in the training all seem to work out so well and easily, but confusion is rampant in real life, as reality is seldom as well ordered as in the training domain. Therefore a Belt can really find value in this book, as it clearly charts a course through the improvement project, and aligns the tools and methods with the steps in question.
As a Master Black Belt, I use this book in all my training and coaching of Black Belts. It is also a standard reference hand out to candidate Black Belts.

Bravo...another blow to variation.

5.0 out of 5 stars At last - a Six Sigma/MINITAB guide of real value!, 16 Jul 2004
Having completed Black Belt training, I came across this book and now wish I'd found it before my training! It's clear flow through DMAIC, with detailed instructions for using MINITAB where necessary (with screen shots) makes it an excellent companion for those that have been trained, and now need to DO something with the tools they've learnt.
The down to earth language and approach is also a breath of fresh air in the jargon laden Six Sigma world.
I originally had reservations on the price in relation to other "pocket" guides available, but this book contains a substantial amount of useful information, and having read it, I'd recommend it to anyone involved in Six Sigma as being worth every penny.
