It's OK...,
By Becka (Massachusetts, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Certified Six Sigma Green Belt Handbook (Hardcover)
I recently took the Six Sigma Green Belt exam and passed - this book was an OK overview of Six Sigma, but it was far from complete. Many topics required for the test were barely touched upon. I strongly recommend instead the Certified Quality Engineer Handbook by Borror and Implementing Six Sigma by Breyfogle. Both books are excellent - I used these as my reference material during the test and continue to use these as reference material at work.

This review is from: The Certified Six Sigma Green Belt Handbook (Hardcover)
I used the CSSGB Handbook to study for the ASQ exam without benefit of a prep class, and passed first time. However it was not my only reference, and years of labor to improve quality also helped. Initially I was slowed-up and frustrated by errors that still showed up after going through the latest list of errata. I believe the authors intend to make the handbook as error-free and accurate as possible, and one of the co-authors regularly contributes to the users group on "LinkedIn." Six sigma practices are not just a branch of statistics, and the book really did help understanding the purposes and dialect of technology that falls under the "Six Sigma" banner.
If you have some inspector's instincts to dig down until you understand it, the topic coverage is a useful roadmap, and even the Juran handbook comes up short in that area. My e-mail and some Internet searching seem to indicate that a significant amount of specific six sigma literature is riddled with errors right now, possibly due in part to the relative newness of the field compared to CQE materials.

Lives up to its title,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Certified Six Sigma Green Belt Handbook (Hardcover)
This book absolutely lives up to its title. The book does not claim to be a one-stop-shop for Six Sigma knowledge, nor does it claim to be a comprehensive reference. What it certainly accomplishes in doing is to present itself as an excellent reference for the ASQ SSGB certification exam. Every topic covered in the BoK is broached upon in this book.
Some obscure concepts that ended up in the test like 'takt time' have not been covered, but you could allow a few slip-ups in an otherwise well-organized book. Mind you, there are typos that you could find, but one of the authors is very active on LinkedIn, and maintains a good forum there. If one wants a comprehensive Six Sigma reference, it can be found in either of these texts: 1) Implementing Six Sigma by Breyfogle, Forrest W 2) The Six Sigma Handbook, Third Edition by Thomas Pyzdek and Paul Keller To prepare for the ASQ exam, another great source is the material that Indiana Quality Council puts out. This is especially useful in preparing for the ASQ SSBB exam.
