What Six Sigma can do for you

The high priests of the Six Sigma movement tend to be analytical thinkers who relish a methodical, data-driven process that enhances productivity. George Eckes certainly fits this profile. Like any good consultant, he doesn't tell you everything you ever wanted to know about Six Sigma; he leaves you wanting more. For example, the book's treatment of "measurement dashboards" - the metrics used to assess the efficiency of a given process - is less than definitive. The strength of his book, however, is that Eckes actually lays out detailed case studies from his retreats and seminars, practically handing you an agenda for getting a Six Sigma project off the ground. You'll feel you've been part of a Six Sigma initiative from its opening stages. After you read this book you may not know enough to be a Six Sigma champion, but getAbstract predicts that you'll no longer be a novice.

Excellent

This is an excellent book for those who want to know how six sigma is implemented. The author shares his experience on the process of six sigma implementation projects. The book is flavored by the author's discussion on the cultural aspects of organizations while implementing six sigma. I recommend this book for champions, quality consultants and managers, and black belts. It will strengthen their approach to six sigma implementation. K.
