This is the book that you want every company employee, especially the executive leaders and middle management, to read before you start your Lean/Six Sigma deployment. The authors have done an excellent job of explaining in a non-technical manner the Six Sigma problem solving methodology MAIC (Measure, Analyze, Improve, and Control) and why it is critical that it be linked to the 5S's of Lean Enterprise.

Heavy on Attitude -- light on Substance,
By Mark Wilen (Boston, MA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Leaning into Six Sigma: The Path to Integration of Lean Enterprise and Six Sigma (Paperback)
"Leaning into Six Sigma" provides a few hours of entertaining reading, but only brushes the surface of Six Sigma. Written in the tradition of "The Goal" by Eliyahu Goldratt, "Leaning into Six Sigma" doesn't live up that book's success at explaining complex business/operations concepts even while telling a compelling story. While Sam Micawh, the protagonist, certainly can't be faulted for being boring, the brazen attitude bestowed upon her by the authors, and the patronizing tone with which the client company's employees are addressed, only serve to reinforce the negative stereotype of "the arrogant consultant." This fault makes me hesitant to recommend "Leaning into Six Sigma" ...

Leaning Into Six Sigma,
By Shree Nanguneri (CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Leaning into Six Sigma: The Path to Integration of Lean Enterprise and Six Sigma (Paperback)
The book has a unique way of integrating the principles of Lean and Six Sigma. The practical concepts of eliminating waste and improving efficiency have been illustrated in simple terms. The length and style of the book have been structured for easy reading.The reader doesn't have to have a specific background other than being open to learning the best principles of business. The concepts can also be applied to a transactional type of environment based on the principles taught in the book. The examples provided are relatable and provide a channel for easy comprehension. A publication project well done!
