1.0 out of 5 stars Look elsewhere for Six Sigma info, July 6, 2001

This 8 volume set accomplishes only one thing, to improve the bank account balance of the author. The concepts are not new, the "Vision" is poorly presented, and lack of a usable index make this work useless as a stand alone reference for someone interested in Six Sigma. Basically this set of books consists of presentation slides for a Six Sigma class, but without any value-added explanitory text. There are too many good books on Six Sigma now in print to waste money on this.

1.0 out of 5 stars Powerpoint in Disguise, February 23, 2003

Rubbish, pure rubbish. This is a cartoon-like collection of powerpoint slides masquerading as a book. If anyone actually pays money for this (like my company did), they deserve to lose the money. Congratulations Dr. Harry (a doctor of what, exactly?) you made some more money on this collection of slides.

I was issued a set of Mikel Harry's, "The Vision of Six Sigma" when going through an implementation of Six Sigma at Seagate Technology. The books were absolutely useless. Consisting mostly of pictures originated 10 years ago at Motorola, they provided little insight and in most cases were of no value at all because without sufficient text, the intent of the pictures is unclear. I'm sure Mr. Harry can use the pictures for his own presentations, but I've never known anyone else to be able to use them. They do make a good bookend--they way a ton.
