The Best Book on Understanding Six Sigma by anyone
Wow!!! Awesome Book !!!After reading this book, Chowdhury became my favorite author.Finally a book for anyone to understand Six Sigma. I read it, I understand what is the power of Six Sigma, why it is different than TQM or any other major initiatives. Now I am fully convinced that Six Sigma must be adopted by any organizations - large or small. Recently a lot of companies are adopting Six Sigma, but I really question "How Many truelly understand the People Power and Process Power part?" If these 2 major elements are not understood properly, Six Sigma will fail.
Interestingly if anyone (a CEO, or a middle manager, or a worker, or a mail delivery person) wants to understand SIX SIGMA's these 2 major elements, please READ this book. I am 100% sure that you will be convinced.
Organizations who are adopting Six Sigma, THIS BOOK WILL SIGNIFICANTLY HELP AS A GREAT MASS COMMUNICATION TOOL. Read it, enjoy it, distribute it.
I highly recommend this book to everyone who wants to understand SIX SIGMA POWER.

Excellent!!! Finally A Book on Six Sigma for All of Us
Six Sigma is a NEW management initiative which has been successful in GE, Allied Signal etc. I always wanted to learn about the subject; and bought 2 previously published books on Six Sigma and all are DIFFICULT to understand as I am not from Quality field. I always embrace any book which explains in a simple tone.The Power of Six Sigma is an EXCELLENT book that explains the complex subject in a non-threatning way for anyone to understand. The book reminded me 3 books: "THE GOAL", WHO MOVED MY CHEESE" or "FISH". If someone wants to understand what is the true power behind Six Sigma, please READ THIS BOOK. This is a STORY BOOK, which is for blue collars to white collars - for everyone.
All the organizations which are implementing Six Sigma MUST ADOPT THIS BOOK and MUST DISTRIBUTE THIS BOOK to EVERY EMPLOYEE. I mean every employee. I emphasize EVERYONE - because successful implementation of any major initiatives depend on everyone's acceptance. This Book WILL work as A CATALYST.
I strongly RECOMMEND THIS BOOK.

Six Sigma, an easy reading to learn about it
This book is small in size and number of pages but big in contents. Written in a fictional way, it shows what Six Sigma is all about, by explaining the basic concepts in an easy understandable language. You will know what champions, black belts and green belts are, together with the steps required to improve a process with Six Sigma. If you want to learn about the concepts of Six Sigma, this book is for you. If you already know about it, you better look for one of the implementation books available. Highly recommendable for Six Sigma newcomers and for business professionals that don't need to go too deep into it. Similar Products
