Customer Reviews

What an awesome book!

The authors do a great job of illustrating the value of customer input and the measurement of results around the processes of serving your customers. Also explained is process variation and how six sigma methodology can not only drive out costs but actually result in a much better customer interaction and customer satisfaction.Almost two books in one, the first half gives great understanding and quantification of the value of being customer centric. It also gives good techniques on how to best capture the voice of the customer. The second half of the book explains how to prepare your organization for a six sigma effort and then leads you through (at a high level) the techniques to analyze your current processes, solve current problems and then takes them through implementation.Just a great resource to help emphasize the financial benefits of listening to and serving your customers better. A compelling read backed up by real world examples. Understandable by anyone - no need for a statistics degree.
