 Good November 18, 2009
Gary B
As a quality control manager for 7 years, I know the value of six sigma control. I have been to several sigma seminars and this is as good as the live trainings. This training was direct and to the point. For further study and to help you with certification I would recommend this resource
Six Sigma Green Belt Certification CDROM Training
 Useful Reference for ASQ Certified Six Sigma Black Belt (CSSBB) Exam November 3, 2009
K. Scott Proctor (Wilmington, DE USA)
"The Lean Six Sigma Pocket Toolbox" covers nearly 100 "tools" related to Six Sigma. The authors (George, Rowlands, Price, and Maxey) cover each of these tools in a manner, and at a depth, well-suited for the CSSBB examination given by the American Society for Quality.
While not positioned/marketed as a CSSBB exam study guide, this book covers the "who/what/why/where/when/how" of the major Six Sigma concepts and tools. I used this book as one of my references in preparing for the ASQ CSSBB exam.
The DMAIC diagrams for each step in the Six Sigma framework provided in this book stand out as unique and especially useful. While this sounds generic and basic, it is actually difficult to find good, succinct, and specific diagrams that cover each of the DMAIC steps.
Other strong points in this publication include the coverage of MSA (Measurement Systems Analysis), control charts, hypothesis testing techniques, and summaries of the major statistical concepts covered in the CSSBB Body of Knowledge.
I highly recommend this book as a reference for Six Sigma practitioners and for individuals preparing to take the ASQ CSSBB examination.
Great Refresher on Lean Tools September 25, 2009
Charles B. Tolsma (Plano, Texas)
Although my former company did not have a formal Lean Six Sigma program in place, we received many hours of training on lean tools for continuous improvement. I kept a copy of this book in my office to reference as needed. The authors do an excellent job in defining lean tool methodologies.
Good book for beginners April 19, 2009
Dumidu Ranaweera (Colombo, Sri Lanka)
Well this is a good book for beginners and covers a good amount of quality tools. Its written in simple language and easy to comprehend. I would recommend to any beginner to read. As one has commented this would not give detail explanation on the tools, so keep that in mind.
For the Practitioner, by the Practitioner March 2, 2009
Edward J. Barton (Mill Creek, WA)
This is a great reference. I would prefer this over the Memory Jogger series because it is more comprehensive, better organized and seems to have the right balance of theory and practical application for the Lean Six Sigma practitioner.
This is definitely a tactical "how to" for Lean Six Sigma - and by tactical, I mean that it contains checklists, forms, discussions of the tools and real world examples. This book doesn't focus on management involvement, strategy, case studies, or the like. It is FOR the practitioner, BY the practitioner.
