Praise for TPS-Lean Six Sigma from Business Leaders in the US and abroad 2007-10-06
"Hubert Rampersad and Anwar El-Homsi continue their superb integration of business, project, and personal life in their new book. Their disciplined, logical, and scorecard approach to melding business and personal lives will be a major benefit to companies, leaders, and employees. The new book is full of examples, tools, and exercises that will help individuals discover and align their personal vision and mission to the company where they work. This book links the lean six sigma profession with human capital in a fully integrated and through way".--Dave Ulrich, Professor of Business, University of Michigan, and Partner, The RBL Group. He was ranked as #1 management educator and guru by Business Week, #2 among management thinkers by Executive Excellence, and listed by Forbes as one of the "world's top five" business coaches.
"TPS-Lean Six Sigma puts heart in the (Lean) Six Sigma process. It's designed for human beings and integrates both process and people to achieve maximum results." --- Marshall Goldsmith is a world renowned executive coach and the author of the New York Times best seller What Got You Here Won't Get You There. He is recognized by the American Management Association as one of 50 great thinkers and leaders who have impacted the field of management over the past 80 years.
"This book packs a big punch. Any company interested in improving their quality processes fast needs to incorporate its message." - - Paul Bracken, Professor of Management, Yale School of Management.
"Hubert Rampersad and Anwar El-Homsi combine the power of Lean Six Sigma with an approach that stresses the importance and need of developing an organizational structure and philosophy that combines the goals of and aspirations of the individual with those of the company......During my 38 years of business experience, I've seen many well developed management concepts being applied without success and that have failed to recognize the importance of aligning the needs and aspirations of employees with those of company objectives. The TPS-Lean Six Sigma concept offers a systematic process of continuous improvement and development of personal and organizational performance with potential for breakthrough results". --- Ricardo A. Gonzalez, Director Worldwide Purchasing, Eastman Kodak Company, USA.
"Successful implementation of Lean Six Sigma relies on people up and down the organization working together to achieve quality. Despite best intentions, the importance of the human element in the overall implementation scheme can be overshadowed by a focus on the tools. Hubert Rampersad and Anwar El-Homsi have written the most important book yet on creating a culture of Lean Six Sigma. It clearly spells out how to address the issues and challenges associated with implementing a comprehensive and effective Lean Six Sigma program". --- Stephen Haight, Vice President Global Quality, Bausch & Lomb, USA
"The major difference between two companies in the same industry lies not with the machines they use, not with their locations, not with their advertising campaigns, and not with their buildings, but rather with the people who work there--their skills, their talents, the processes they carry out, and especially with the motivation they bring to the job. TPS - Lean Six Sigma provides a guidepost for executives to craft an organization that both celebrates individual differences while molding disparate individuals into an efficient team executing the right processes smartly. It was once said of a great sports coach (Bum Phillips) that "he could take 'hissen' and beat 'youren' or he could take 'youren' and beat 'hissen'." TPS - Lean Six Sigma will teach you how to do that: how to build upon widely ranging individual strengths so as to combine them into a set of efficient and effective performers who deliver value with no waste and target precisely what customers desire." -- Professor Francis D.Tuggle, Ph. D., Argyros School of Business and Economics, Chapman University, California
"Aligning personal goals with organizational goals in the deployment of Lean Six Sigma is brilliant! This book will help many organizations whose deployment of Lean Six Sigma was not as they had anticipated and will make the journey much more rewarding for those just starting." -- Reginald Stewart, Quality Officer and Six Sigma Master Black Belt, University of Rochester, Strong Memorial Hospital, USA
"TPS-Lean Six Sigma is a wonderful, thought provoking concept that we will incorporate into all of our quality training. Lean Six Sigma has helped many of our customers improve their product or service. It is my hope that with TPS-Lean Six Sigma, we can now begin to address how these quality tools affect the most important part of any organization, its people."--Charles J. Caples, Program Director Workforce Development, Monroe Community College, USA
"The TPS - Lean Six Sigma book is a synergetic approach and business perspective for leading companies; a major contribution in the cohesive development of organizations. By aligning and combining human and organizational interests Hubert Rampersad and Anwar El-Homsi created a thorough concept for successful improvement of organizational and human behaviour. Enjoy the richness of the content and you will understand that implementing TPS-LSS generates self propelling engagement and related results." -- Ad Rutten, Executive Vice President & COO, Schiphol Group, Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, the Netherlands.
"TPS - Lean Six Sigma is an excellent book on a topic that is so important in today's business climate. It describes in a very pragmatic and structured way how to improve company performance and personal satisfaction of employees by aligning company- and personal objectives. Optimizing business processes and enhancing personal engagement does not only result in an enhanced performance but also addresses sustainability of realized improvements over time. A highly readable and useful book". -- Paul Stuyvenberg Vice President Corporate Quality Management, ASML, the Netherlands.
