Not all Six Sigma Efforts are Created Equal!

When we launched our Six Sigma journey, many of our top managers had heard of mixed results with other initiatives. In fact, the methodology described in this book has allowed us to make such major strides that the results have made all our people become advocates. As a Berkshire Hathaway company, prioritizing projects around ROIC, as espoused in Lean Six Sigma, supports our corporate objectives. The integration of Lean on a foundation of Six Sigma tools described in this book has equipped our Black Belts to successfully attack virtually any business problem. Lean Six Sigma is a book every executive and manager ought to read.

Worth Reading

This book provides the linkage between the two most powerful continuous improvement tools currently available: Lean and Six Sigma. It also provides a clear approach to prioritizing projects to maximize shareholder value. In creating Value Based Six Sigma at ITT, we knew that we needed the Six Sigma infrastructure and quality tools, that was clear. But what really makes a change in factories and other processes are the Lean tools. This book synthesizes the concepts of Value Based project prioritization, Six Sigma quality, and Lean process speed into an integrated and logical structure that applies to any company or process. I recommend the book to the executive who is contemplating launching a continuous improvement process to support their corporate strategy.

Review from Dave Burritt, Caterpillar Inc.

At Caterpillar, we require that Lean Manufacturing tools be embedded within our 6 Sigma methodology. 6 Sigma provides the overarching infrastructure,and we supplement its quality methods with the Lean tools to accelerate process velocity. We have worked with Mike George throughout our deployment and have read the drafts of this book while it was in preparation. With the help of Lean Manufacturing enrichment modules from George Group, we have been able to fully integrate Lean with 6 Sigma as our Unifying Framework. 6 Sigma and Lean are great complements for driving process excellence. Mike's book, Lean Six Sigma is a detailed and proven implementation approach. It's an outstanding book and a must read for anyone committing to improving corporate performance.
