5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Introduction to the Six Sigma Fundamentals, April 20, 2002
By Demetri (Michigan) - See all my reviews
I am a recent Graduate of Engineering and found this book to be an excellent introduction to the foundations of six sigma and problem solving. Dr. Stamtis goes beyond slogans and mission statements and describes the mindset an organization has to be in order to be successful. His book has helped me better understand the six sigma methodology and how it relates to the corporate environment in which I work.

In this book, Dr. Stamatis discusses, in easy to understand English, the organizational structure for the six-sigma implementation, and quality methods used in six sigma. This book is a must for all Engineers who are interested in understanding the fundamentals of six sigma.

I thoroughly enjoyed and the read, and plan on reading the entire series.

4.0 out of 5 stars Book Review - Six Sigma and Beyond by Dean Stemantis, March 28, 2002
By J. King (Michigan) - See all my reviews
This book has a home spun, coversational style of wtriting. It includes a range of six sigma implementation ideas, descriptions of quality methods and tools and their historical origons, and a wealth of reference sources.

The Table of Contents is sufficiently detailed to serve as a reference.

I enjoyed the read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Introduction, November 15, 2002
Dr. Stamatis has captured what six sigma is and how it needs to be implemented to be successful. He even explains the PDCA cycle that so many have heard about but have never had it explained before. He also covers some of the frequently asked questions in this endeavor and covers how teams should be involved to ensure success.

I highly recommend this reference.
