[Mohammed Zaitoun · Rating 1 out of 5]

This book should be called (the very simple easy way to introduce six sigma) this is not a real book to read about six sigma or even close to statistics about the topic.

I don't recommend it for Black belts.

A nice book about statistical concepts in relation to six-sigma methodology. It is good that first, you read statistics concepts before you take this book for better understanding of the text and for gaining maximum benefits. This book serves as the starter for 6-sigma concepts and almost touches basic to intermediate level of operations challenges with case studies in every chapter to let user understand the real implication of variability in processes and how to deal with powerful tools of statistics such as t-test, ANOVA, Chi-Square etc.

As the time gets closer for me to begin my Black Belt training, I am focusing more of my efforts on statistics. Statistics for Six Sigma Made Easy lives up to its name by providing straight forward explanations of various tools.

But even more than just a statistics book, the case studies and the "when to use it", make this a very practical book. I plan on keeping it handy as I work through my black belt training and project.
