Six Sigma Demystified, 2nd Edition

More detailed and in-depth than what I needed. But I feel this could be a really good book for someone training for their belt.

I have used the First Edition of Paul Keller's Book 'Six Sigma Demystified' for some years now to prepare students for their Green Belt Certification Examination. I was therefore delighted when I saw that Paul had revised and updated the book now in its Second Edition.The book is ideal both for students new to Six Sigma and for the more experienced practitioners.It also has a lot to offer organisations thinking of embarking on Six Sigma for the first time. The reason it works in all three cases arises from the 3 part structure of the text:Part 1 covers the important topic of 'Preparing for Deployment' from which organisations can learn how to deploy a Six Sigma Initative.Part 2 covers the DMAIC methodology with end of Chapter Quizes making it ideal for students preparing for Certification Examinations particularly at Green Belt Level.Part 3 is a comprehensive review of the Tools of Six Sigma. This section is particularly helpful for Six Sigma Practitioners at all levels and for Black Belts preparing for Certification. This section has been significantly updated to include worked examples with both Minitab and Excel solutions. Good examples of this particularly for Black Belt Students include Factorial Design and Response Surface Designs.The updated 'Final Exam' is excellent for students to practice answering questions on every aspect of the subject and includes updated material using Excel solutions.The new layout and type face make the book more readable and easy to follow for both student and teacher.All in all, this book really does demystify Six Sigma !Well done Paul,

I've been looking into Six Sigma on and off for probably two years. I've not yet made a commitment to learning the tools, yet this book I purchased recently at hopes that something that is less technical orientated will get the boat in the water and keep it there.I would say that I so far have increased my understanding of Six Sigma and I do credit the easy reading here in this book. I would suggest purchasing this book if you wanted to get a step into the world of Six Sigma without the chance of feeling overwhelmed.

Comprehensive coverage, simply presented, of the major six sigma tools.

Easy and basic explanations to hardcore statistical tools.

This is a good adjunct reference material. If you are looing for an in-depth Six Sigma study book, this is not for you.

Clearly written, but reads like a boring text book. It'll help you learn AND sleep! :)

Very good book on six sigma. Might be a little in depth for anyone wanting an introduction but it covers the basics as well as details for say, a green belt.

Covers everything for somebody doing a green or black belt.

Fast delivery. Lots of great information in this book. One which will be referred to often.

Amazing book for armatures.

Great way to teach yourself the theory and practice of Six Sigma.The examples make it really easy to follow.
