Rath & Strong's Pocket Guide to Advanced Six Sigma Tools

A companion to the bestselling Rath & Strong Pocket Guide to Six Sigma, Rath & Strong's Pocket Guide to Advanced Six Sigma Tools is designed to help Six Sigma black belts, green belts, and team leaders from every field to implement the most powerful tools in Six Sigma without getting bogged down in statistical theory.

This pocket-sized field guide provides practical advice on the use of advanced tools, such as: sampling, analysis of variance, multiple regression, and design of experiments. Each tool is explained in easy-to-understand language, permitting the reader to solve real-world problems in any area of business.

• Covers step-by-step implementation of the most important Six Sigma tools.
• Features a heavy emphasis on applying the best tools to solve practical business problems.

Explains how to use Microsoft Excel and Minitab statistical software to simplify the process.

We have found a use for this book as well as the "Six Sigma Pocket Guide" amongst our Black Belts. Many times, it is reached for over the more thorough (and not so small) "Implementing Six Sigma" by Forrest W. Breyfogle.

Anyone who did not really cement the higher statistical concepts in the 2 - 4 weeks that most Six Sigma training allows should benefit from this book.
