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

Love this book. I work a lot in the OpEx/Process Improvement space and this book acts as a friendly reminder of all the tools that are at my disposal. Hopping industries can often leave you wondering if a tool is applicable and this serves as that refresher. Also a great book for junior resources who often lack industry experience. This can get them up and running and using the LSS lexicon.

This book remains one of my favorites and I still use it in the classroom today. SSD Global Solutions has it’s in collaterals, but I still often recommend this particular book for a summary of the tools with an easy explanation.

No question this book was made by very knowledgeable authors since it has very helpful tools and explanations. The only two considerations I have are: This book will be most useful for people who are already acquainted with Lean Six Sigma, for the rest, it will give you an idea but the impact will not be the same. Finally, to me, it would have been more helpful if the author had included business cases explaining a problem and how a tool was used to resolve it. The book itself is good, no doubt about it, it is just that not all audiences will relate to the information.

This is a great reference. I would prefer this over the Memory Jogger series because it is more comprehensive, better organized and seems to have the right balance of theory and practical application for the Lean Six Sigma practitioner. This is definitely a tactical "how to" for Lean Six Sigma - and by tactical, I mean that it contains checklists, forms, discussions of the tools and real world examples. This book doesn't focus on management involvement, strategy, case studies, or the like. It is FOR the practitioner, BY the practitioner.

Super product!

This is the only book needed for most lean a statistical tools.

It help a lot whit my green belt certification!!! I recommend it 100%. Why? Because it have everything that you need and very well explained in a short way. So it is a great reference when pass lot of time after take the test. If you forgot something simply review this book and you will remember. Thanks to ship to Puerto Rico

This pocket toolbook hits the "sweet spot" as a quick reference guide for lean six sigma practitioners. Don't expect this to be an in-depth treatment of the 70+ tools covered in this book. If you're new to the lean/six sigma disciplines, you need to start someplace else. However, if you are currently working in these disciplines and you need a reference with enough meat to remind you of how/why/when a particular tool should be used and also a little of the statistical foundations supporting the tool, then you will find this to be a very valuable book to own. I own just about all of the "pocket guides" and I often find them to be a little too cryptic and abbreviated to meet my needs. This book is a very nice middle ground between the often complex and verbose "learning textbooks" and the often times overly brief pocket guides. As with any first edition, there are some errors that slipped through the editing process, but I can still highly recommend this book as one to keep handy when your out there fighting those "quality and productivity" battles.
