Comprehensive reference, not always clear This is the first book I've read on Six Sigma and WOW! did it do a great job of covering everything I ever wanted to know. Found the terminology definitions(especially acronyms) not always easy to reference from the index. The statistics examples were difficult to follow, although I acknowledge the difficulty of breaking them down further without becoming overly wordy.
It's The Definitive Textbook On The Topic In a nutshell - it is 800 pages of essential material on the topic. Yes, it is HUGE! It's as big as a Gutenburg Bible. But it is the most complete collection of reference material you will ever find. It is actually the required textbook for many of the better Black Belt Certifying courses. That being said it should be paired up and sold as a discounted package deal along with Gygi's "Six Sigma For Dummies". Before begining a Black Belt course you should read "Six Sigma For Dummies" from cover to cover prior to taking the course (300 pages). Then keep the Six Sigma Handbook close by as reference material. You will most assuredly keep both books on your shelf forever and use them frequently.
Familiarity The Six Sigma Handbook is very thou rough however, if you're not familiar with statistics I recommend a more basic statistics book to accompany this subject.
One of the Best Books on Six Sigma This is one of the classics.If you are in to Six Sigma,buy this and keep it in your library. The explanations are simple and very comprehensive.
Six Sigma Handbook This is an excellent book for all levels of experience in quality management programs. A very concise, structured and detailed explanation of Six Sigma and Design for Six Sigma as well as Lean processes. The Handbook helped me integrate my 15 years of SPC, TQM, and ISO into the Six Sigma "framework". I would recommend this book be read by all managers of any organization. I learned important information in every chapter, although I had been exposed to most concepts for many years. Highly recommended!
