I'm sorry but this book lacks any depth at all. I would recommend not buying this book. This is superficial coverage and should only be read by those who know absolutely nothing about quality management.

Great High-Level Summary of Lean Six Sigma - 2009-07-17

Although I have been Lean Six Sigma practioner for many years, this book is a great summary of the philosophy/methodology. The authors don't waste time debating the different between the two methodsologies. They focus on how Lean Six Sigma can help organizations make improvements (on a high-level).

Don Vanpool's Review of "What is Lean Six Sigma?" - 2008-12-13
Reviewer Rating:
I expected a short review of lean Six Sigma, but mostly found a quick reminder of some of the basic fundamentals of Six Sigma. For the long time Quality professional, this book is an expanded reminder of the foundational aspects of our movement. For the investment of time, it is worth while, however "What is Lean Six Sigma?" is more for the Six Sigma novice.
