Six Sigma in simple terms

Mr. Larson does an excellent job of simplifying much of what Six Sigma is about. His knowledge from working with Six Sigma shows and helps the reader understand the concepts involved. I have studied Six Sigma for some time so I don't know if this would be an easy read for everybody, but I found it to be so.

It worked for me!

I have to admit I ordered the book blindly--not quite sure what I was going to learn. Every one of my peers talked about Six-Sigma projects but no one had any concrete examples - all talk no action. I was pleasantly surprised at the common sense approach in the book and the examples Mr. Larson used were perfect for me. I was very impressed with his logical organization of this material. I wish he published a workbook.
