The Six Sigma Way

If you are a business leader, manager or professional who wants to understand Six Sigma and how it can help create a more profitable organization, The Six Sigma Way is a "must have". The Six Sigma Way is the first and only book that gives specifics on how to implement Six Sigma, whether as an approach to process improvement or a complete culture change.

The goal in writing The Six Sigma Way was to help demystify this influential and growing force in American business. Readers are sure to find this book informative, enjoyable to read and even inspiring. The Six Sigma Way is divided into three sections to make it easy to use according to the reader's interest and need, and answers the following questions:

• What IS Six Sigma?
• How does it position a business to be more profitable and competitive?
• What are the steps that leaders, implementers and "Black Belts" should follow to achieve Why is Six Sigma succeeding where TQM "failed "?

The Six Sigma Way can give your organization essential insights into why and how Six Sigma can help you meet the challenges of sustained success in the twenty-first century business environment.

The Six Sigma Way Team Fieldbook focuses on the project improvement teams that do the real, in-the-trenches work of Six Sigma — measuring performance, improving quality and saving millions of dollars in the process. A highly practical reference for team leaders and members, outlining both the methods that have made Six Sigma successful and the basic steps a team must follow in an improvement effort.

The Six Sigma Way Team Fieldbook is an excellent companion to the original Six Sigma Way. The Fieldbook does a good job of laying out the "nuts and bolts" process of attacking a problem and making improvements. The book is a little light in some of the more technical areas, specifically in the Analysis Stage of the DMAIC model. This book is exactly what it is intended to be -- A Team Fieldbook for Six Sigma practitioners. Used with the guidance from an experienced Six Sigma practitioner (Black Belt), it is an excellent tool for both training and basic reference.

“The Six Sigma Way” book details how to create the teams needed for Six Sigma. First it explains the role of the 'black belt' and 'master black belt'. This book is pure sophistry detailing a fad, a flavor of the week approach developed at GE and now appearing in every book in the world on business. Business existed before Six Sigma and it will exist when this flawed system is gone.
