Six Sigma Black Belt Alert 2008-06-22
"The Six Sigma Black Belt Handbook" is a must read for all Black Belt practioners striving to meet, if not exceed, critical customer and critical business requirements. The insights that I gained, as a practicing Black Belt with more than 20 years of process experience, from reading the "Six Sigma Teams, Methodology and Tools" section will help me drive even greater increases in customer satisfaction and generate even more cost savings.


It could be better 2008-04-07
First: For a six sigma book, this book has too many spelling mistakes. It's incredible.

Second: As far as the DMAIC explanation, the book is very superficial. It could have been named :"Six sigma green belt handbook".

Third: The book gives a good overview about lean and kaizen projects.
Fourth: The book develops well enough the six sigma management system.

This book may complete some previous ideas bearing in mind that this won't be your six sigma first book.


Decent reference 2007-05-06
Has anyone actually sent in the 2 dozen or so corrections to the publisher? The text is weak on analytics and not a 'stand alone' reference for the tougher certification exams (ASQ, Moresteam, etc).

Even so, it is one of the best commercial volumes out there - in terms of organization and potential benefit to the practitioner.

They should take a page off Juran's Quality Handbook, or other Engineering Handbooks (Perry's), on formatting and content development.
