What Customers Say About The Lean Six Sigma Pocket Toolbook: A Quick Reference Guide to 100 Tools for Improving Quality and Speed:

It does not make sense Amazon. How come the Kindle version is more expensive than the paper one.

For further study and to help you with certification I would recommend this resource Six Sigma Green Belt Certification CDROM Training This training was direct and to the point. As a quality control manager for 7 years, I know the value of six sigma control. I have been to several sigma seminars and this is as good as the live trainings.

Other strong points in this publication include the coverage of MSA (Measurement Systems Analysis), control charts, hypothesis testing techniques, and summaries of the major statistical concepts covered in the CSSBB Body of Knowledge. The DMAIC diagrams for each step in the Six Sigma framework provided in this book stand out as unique and especially useful. While this sounds generic and basic, it is actually difficult to find good, succinct, and specific diagrams that cover each of the DMAIC steps. "The Lean Six Sigma Pocket Toolbox" covers nearly 100 "tools" related to Six Sigma. I highly recommend this book as a reference for Six Sigma practitioners and for individuals preparing to take the ASQ CSSBB examination. While not positioned/marketed as a CSSBB exam study guide, this book covers the "who/what/why/where/when/how" of the major Six Sigma concepts and tools. The authors (George, Rowlands, Price, and Maxey) cover each of these tools in a manner, and at a depth, well-suited for the CSSBB examination given by the American Society for Quality. I used this book as one of my references in preparing for the ASQ CSSBB exam.

The authors do an excellent job in defining lean tool methodologies. Although my former company did not have a formal Lean Six Sigma program in place, we received many hours of training on lean tools for continuous improvement. I kept a copy of this book in my office to reference as needed.

As one has commented this would not give detail explanation on the tools, so keep that in mind. I would recommend to any beginner to read. Well this is a good book for beginners and covers a good amount of quality tools. Its written in simple language and easy to comprehend.
