Rate this book
Running an organization is simple. Running an organization that is effective, efficient and has little waste is another story. At the core of every organization, what defines how it operates on a day-to-day basis, is its philosophy and strategy. Not to be overlooked, the theories and strategies deployed by management and reinforced by those who execute the organization's mission ultimately define its success. Process improvement, quality control, and customer satisfaction can simultaneously be managed and improved upon with the implementation of lean Six Sigma. Data-driven and rooted in analytics, the techniques and principles of Lean Six Sigma have been around since the early 1920s. An integration of the Lean production philosophy and process improvement techniques of Six Sigma, Lean Six Sigma combines two leading initiatives in order to take an organization to the next level.

Lean Six Sigma Quickstart Guide: First Thing First #BookReview

Lean Six Sigma Quickstart Guide: A Simplified Beginner’s Guide To Lean Six Sigma by ClydeBank Business is written in a simplified and structured manner so as to ensure to bring “first thing first” on the table before getting into the complexities of the subject. The purpose of this book is quite clear. It intends to steer visible improvement within an organization with the help of Lean and Six Sigma. Lean and Six Sigma have stayed as quite interesting topics for last few decades and reportedly many organizations have benefited by the adoption of Lean, Six Sigma or Lean with Six Sigma.

An organization is simple to run. But running it effectively, efficiently is critical. That too by ensuring negligible waste in product and process. That, in fact, is a difficult task and requires equally strong brains to run the show. Lean with Six Sigma focuses entirely objectively on a day to day operations. The sole purpose is to ensure least disruptions, maximum productivity and continuous enhancement in the processes. Quality has to be at its peak in Lean, Six Sigma, or both together. If it is not, you will not be able to achieve either desired goals or customer satisfaction.

Both Lean and Six Sigma depend on statistics for analysis and reporting purposes. Lean Six Sigma is actually a marriage between production philosophy of Lean and process improvement techniques of Six Sigma. It talks about going beyond customer expectations thus getting the best out of teams efforts to draw out maximum efficiency. That is where Lean Six Sigma Quickstart Guide: A Simplified Beginner’s Guide To Lean Six Sigma by ClydeBank Business ensures your grip on the subject. In fact, this is a matter where the whole organization needs to congregate frequently to brainstorm next improvement points.
