The Complete Idiot's Guide to Lean Six Sigma

by Unknown Author

Overview The perfect prescription for any organization Increasingly popular with large and mid-sized companies around the world, Lean Six Sigma is the new hybridization of Six Sigma and Lean methodologies, and there is no better approach for achieving operational excellence in an organization. But how do you implement Lean Six Sigma, and what does it entail? The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Lean Six Sigma answers this question with unprecedented clarity and turnkey elegance. Part one gives you all the background you need to understand Lean Six Sigma – what it is, where it came from, what it has done for so many organizations and what it can do for you and your company. Parts two and three of the book give you a prescribed yet flexible roadmap to follow in selecting, enacting and realizing improvements from Lean Six Sigma projects. Within this step-by-step structure, the authors demonstrate when and how to use the many Lean Six Sigma statistics and “tools” – packing the pages with diagrams, real-life examples, templates, tips and advice. If you are a Green Belt or a Black Belt, or trainee, these two parts will be invaluable to you. The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Lean Six Sigma is the first book of its kind to integrate the Lean Six Sigma tools within a clear stepwise progression, so readers know when and how to actually apply them in their jobs. As such, this book is superior as a companion to any corporate or organizational Lean Six Sigma “deployment.”

I hit a few books about this topic. This is one book I read more than once for review and reference. Great book to start learning about LSS. Great book to re-visit if too much of your reading on this topic left you confused and uncluttered in your mind. I see books fail to convince readers and to stay lean because authors are too deep as in academic as they expand what they know. Lean practitioners may always welcome clear and concise. This is good read.

A good read.

Nice history of the evolution of business principles.

Unfortunately limited by the realities of socialized workplace. Would work best in places with great leadership and motivated team. Great section on what would be determinants of failed projects.. I kinda wish I'd skipped to the end and read this section as I would have had a lot less admin heartaches.

Good intro to principles

So far, this book is easy to follow. Any suggestions on a certification program for LSS?
