Getting Started in Six Sigma

by Michael C. Thomsett

The basics behind the Six Sigma quality control technique Six Sigma is designed to achieve excellence in customer service and measure deviation from the ideal. It provides a process for placing value on the intangible nature of quality control. The underlying theories of Six Sigma are highly technical and complex. This book is a basic guide to those who are new to the concept, and though this is a complex subject, the concepts involved are not too complex for readers to grasp. Getting Started in Six Sigma demonstrates how an employee or supervisor can implement Six Sigma successfully without having to become technically familiar with process-oriented models or statistical modeling.

great input on the lean manufacturing process used by many of today's top companies. Boring for most, great for MBA studies

I read the book to familiarize myself with the six sigma concept before studying for my Six Sigma Green Belt Exam. The book provides an easy illustration of many difficult concepts, however, you still need to review other advance resources if you are reading this for six sigma exams' preparation.
