Not very practical and very difficult to be able to implement. Could have been alot simpler - will keep looking


Do not buy this book 2006-06-17
A bunch of junk. Not any of the really meaty excersises. An excuse for the auhor to make money.


Nice ideas....missing something(s) 2006-06-14
I bought the book to get some inspiration for excercises I could use.

It does cover te DMAIC series and shines light from different directions. Which is good as it covers many areas involved in improvement projects. I feel that the begin of the book is stronger then the end of the book.

There is one area I miss in the Analyse area. It doesn't touch base at all on the use of ishikawa diagrams, fmea etc. It focusses more on the data in this area. Data is important, however the underlying cause can be a bit further away.

The further I get in the book the more I miss.

Happy reading!

Great book of games 2005-09-26
The book is excelente because the most of time, we as a trainers, we didn't have enough exercises in group in the six sigma trainings and the courses could be boring to the students. However with a learning material like the contents of this book fills this gap for us, the trainers.

Best regards


Great Book for MBB Instructors 2005-03-23
This book was just right for us. It had the right mix of exercises that made the DMAIC steps more fun to teach and ensured that the class got engaged with the material.

I liked the fact that it also had exercises on Change Management and Team Dynamics

What I found most useful was the website that gives all datasets and template which made preparation for the exercises a breeze.

Here is the website it would be hard to use without the book but you can go take a look and see if has stuff that interests you.
