Authored by one of the world's most respected Quality and Six Sigma experts, Howard S. Gitlow, and a best selling statistics author David M. Levine. The first book that specifically targets green belts - the largest group of people who deal with Six Sigma. Shows how to understand and manage Six Sigma statistics, through practical, MiniTab-based application examples. Cached date: AWS Called=true You may also be interested in these products:
Wonderful 2008-04-07 This book is perfect for a first six sigma book. There are no negative points.
Six Sigma for Green Belts and Champions 2008-04-05 It is amazing book for study six sigma. Good explanations and practical examples in combination with Minitab software. For those who are dedicated in learning six sigma, this book can offer enough information and practice.
Comprehensive Textbook at Black Belt Level 2007-03-28 I was surprised by the well balanced and complete coverage of the Six Sigma methodology from DMAIC, including managerial steps, all the way to statistics up through Design of Experiments. The all inclusive topics seem to parallel full Black Belt training. I would expect green belts to be offered selections from the book in a standard course. I would say no other book has this "textbooky" look and feel (that is not meant as a criticism). At the end of chapters find Minitab instructions including screen shots. The material is well written, hence understandable, hence I think this is one of the best overall introductions to the subject without slamming the reader with high levels of mathematical theory.
Six Sigma GB 2007-03-13 I think this book is an excellent resource for experienced Six Sima managers. However, if you want to buy this book as a study guide for the SSGB certification test, or as an introduction to Six Sigma, it isn't going to help you out much. I guess my lowered rating is due to the fact that the book didn't meet my expectations as it was described on the Amazon site.
An Excellent Introduction to Six Sigma 2006-07-20 This book was well worth my time and money! Being a Six Sigma beginer, I found this book to be easy to follow and comprehend.
Explained is the DMAIC process model, Voice of Customer (VOC), Voice of Process (VOP)and Design of Experements (DOE) in clarifying detail. Best of all, it includes step-by-step explanations of project experiments and the statistical analyses from the expereiments using Minitab 14!
Whether you want to learn the basics of the Six Sigma process (Chapters 1-8) and / or basic Six Sigma statistical tools and methods (Chapters 9-15), I highly recommend this book!
Note: Minitab 14 (Statistical software)is free for 30 days and the associated minitab-formatted excercise worksheets are down-loadable from the publisher's website.
