Lean Six Sigma Using SigmaXL and Minitab

Nice refresher of Lean Six Sigma concepts and particularly the use of SigmaXL in projects. Issa Bass is a good author - used his previous book (Six Sigma with Minitab and Excel) as part of my reference for ASQ's Certified Quality Engineer exam.

Excellent manual and reference for Lean SixSigma professionals!!

The book has several examples to practice and supported by downloadable data which helps in saving time. The concepts are explained clearly.

Six Sigma is a destructive scam based on pure farce. It was created by Mikel Harry a man who admitted he knew nothing about Quality. Harry claimed that all processes drift by +/-1.5 sigma, every 50 measurements, making them wildly out-of-control and unpredictable. Harry based his ludicrous claim on the height of a stack of discs! EVERY aspect is as worthless as its laughable foundations."Six Sigma Champions are con men "“All you have is smoke and mirrors” “Smoke can also be used to cover areas you want to hide from view”- Creator of Six Sigma, Mikel HarryDr Wheeler, the world’s leading process statistician, calls Six Sigma “GOOFY” and the stuff of “the tooth fairy”.. CBS calls it the most stupid fad of all time.Of the 58 large companies that announced Six Sigma programs, 91 percent have trailed the S&P 500 since. Six Sigma destroyed its once best reference GE ... before they tossed the trash out.Why do people turn their backs on the great men of QUALITY: Professor Deming, Professor Lewis, Professor Ishikawa, Dr Shewhart and Dr Wheeler, for the lunacy of the self confessed con man Mikel Harry.Lean is yet another fad, copied from bits and pieces of what Toyota does. Toyota uses Quality Circles, JIT and Deming's methods.

haven't use it much but served its purpose

Decent reference, but as you might expect, it shares it's delivery between SigmaXL and Minitab. If you are looking to dabble between the two tools, then this book is for you. If you are looking to get sharp on either of them, however, then this is an ok reference but may not be the only reference you choose to have in your library.

Explainations on SIgmaXL and Minitab are very clear and welll documented.I recommend this book to anyone who uses SIgmaXL, but Minitab users can get some great benefit from it too.
