|
by: Eliyahu M. Goldratt, Jeff Cox Amazon.com's Price: $19.95 Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description This book is the ultimate paradox - a "business novel", a love story in fact. It is the first in Goldratt's series following Alex Rogo, and how he turns his manufacturing plant around through some relatively simple (though not necessarily easy) principles. It is through this book that Goldratt introduces the reader to his Theory of Constraints, which should rank among the top five business concepts of the 20th century (including, for example, six sigma and the assembly line).

|
by: George Omura List Price: $59.99 Amazon.com's Price: $40.79 You Save: $19.20 (32%) Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description I just bought the book and I am on chapter 3. I have already encountered numerous times when the author says,"the object to the left" when it is actually to the right, or visa versa. He also doesn't know how to count. He will say,"select the two objects" when there is actually three that he instructed you to draw. The book does teach you a lot about VIZ, but his mistakes will make it frustrating at times.

by: Peter S. Pande, Lawrence Holpp, Pete Pande, Larry Holpp List Price: $12.00 Amazon.com's Price: $9.60 You Save: $2.40 (20%) Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description If you are looking for a book to take you from no knowledge of Six Sigma to a very elementary level of knowledge, this could be useful. I found myself feeling like I was reading a company brochure for Six Sigma that was too long. The book falls into a middle ground of not having enough information to be useful in implementing Six Sigma yet might have too much for the average person. I originally thought this would be a great book to give to people that congratulate me on being a Six Sigma Black Belt, that ... Read More Read Reviews and Description

| 7. The Six Sigma Way Team Fieldbook: An Implementation Guide for Process Improvement Teams | |

by: Peter S. Pande, Robert P. Neuman, Roland R. Cavanagh List Price: $34.95 Amazon.com's Price: $23.77 You Save: $11.18 (32%) Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description This Six Sigma book is for those who have little direct experience as a project manager. In addition to an introduction to Six Sigma (albeit not as efficient introduction as "What Is Six Sigma?"), the authors go into depth on team dynamics and other project management information. While the project management information is good and an excellent refresher for those who are only peripherally involved with project management, it helps to feed the Achilles heal of Six Sigma: the perception that it's the same old stuff repackaged ...

Customer Reviews and Description The authors did a great job on the book. I read it on an airplane earlier this week and really enjoyed it. It is very well written - very understandable at a novice level and insightful at the "supposed expert" level. I think it is a "must read" for everyone in an organization deploying Lean Six Sigma or anybody interested in improving the economic value of their business. Read Reviews and Description
