This book is a very useful, detailed guide to Lean Six Sigma, the use of it in the workplace, and the process and value of getting Six Sigma certified. It is not an easy read, but for those who want to start their own business or pursue business management and need a competitive edge, Lean Mastery is a must-read.
The guide takes readers through everything they need to know when preparing for Six Sigma Certification, including the pros and cons of Six Sigma; DMAIC; the different levels of Six Sigma Certification and their roles; the incorporation of Scrum, Kanban, and Agile Management; and much more. By the end, readers should know what Six Sigma is, the benefits, and how to apply it properly.
The writing is simple and straightforward, easy enough for almost any reader to follow. However, I highly recommend it only for people who already have a basic grasp of statistics and some previous knowledge of business management. There are many terms used, including in the explanation of why Six Sigma is called Six Sigma, which can only be understood with some understanding of either statistics or business management, so while other readers just starting in business can understand the material, it will take some research of terminology on their part.
Even though the writing is in plain language, the information is still dense and a lot to follow in one reading. Therefore, I recommend reading it multiple times, especially when you are preparing to take the certification exams or for a Six Sigma project. Also be warned that it is a long read with several hundred pages, so do not expect to be able to cram all of this information into your mind and understand it in one sitting. You will need time and focus in order to both read and digest the information which this book provides.
In general, this book does well in breaking down the Six Sigma process and helping those new to it understand why they should use it, how it will help their employees and their customers, and how to use it effectively. Nevertheless, no one entirely new to business should open this book without learning the basics of statistics and business management first. You will get a lot more out of this guide if you do, and it will give you an edge over your competitors.
