Title: Nice but little meat
Product review: The authors present some good information, particularly the success stories at GE and other selected companies. They outline the general six sigma steps and the roles of the green belt, black belts and other players in the six sigma methodology.However, upon close reading, the book is poorly written and has apparent self contraditions. There is not much meat in the book. For what they covered, the book could have condensed to 30-50 pages.They leave many questions unaswered -- you may have to hire them to help you implement six sigma.In summary, it is worth a quick glance but do not read closely. It is a book on six sigma written at the minus 1.7 sigma level, in my opinion anyway.P.S. I am not panning six sigma; it is a fairly good system and i like how it is tied to the customer and financials of a company -- something other approaches have assumed, but did not stress.You can reach the reviewer at doestat@yahoo.com
