The Lean Six Sigma Guide to Doing More With Less: Cut Costs, Reduce Waste, and Lower Your Overhead

Customer Reviews:

I was pleasantly surprised... In spite of the crazy color!

By M. Stephens - May 12, 2010

I'll skip to the punchline for those of you, like me, who will not read the entire review:
This book shows how to actually save money with Lean Six Sigma (most companies can't say this).
Read this book first if you are trying to cut costs even if you don't have a Lean Six Sigma program, but add Balanced Scorecard and a few others for a cultural perspective as well (like the Toyota Way and Lean Thinking).
If you want to know the good, the great, and the so-so, read on below.

Overall Rating:
I've given several copies away to key people in my company.
One manager has made it required reading for his directs.
You will DEFINITELY save money with this book, and for that reason more than any other I give it a 5 Star (this is more than I can say for most of the Lean or Six Sigma books out there - and there are many!). The book delivers exactly what the title says.

Background:
I come for a Lean Six Sigma background (I'm now a MBB) and I... read more

Best hands-on guide I've read yet.

By Structural1 "SE" - April 24, 2010

I have been studying lean and six sigma practices the last couple years now, slowly improving the processes and product quality of our structural design team in the major global engineering firm for which I work. "LSS Doing More..." is the clearest application-oriented book that I have come across to date. A major problem with most books is they usually cover lean or six sigma, but this book brings both together so you can actually see the harmony of LSS. Also, other books tend to be very theoretical, while this book was more hands-on. In fact, I enjoyed it more than "LSS for Service." There are plenty of tools paired with real-world experiences and advice for practical application. Elimination of wastes, for example, is critical to our teams productivity, so Chapter 2 with Mike Tamilio made the book worth its weight in gold alone. The examples of where you find waste really hit home; I especially enjoyed the "kite string" technique - very clever! I found several excellent ways... read more

Reads Like a Long Brochure for LSS

By Big Cadillac - October 22, 2012

THIS BOOK IS A WASTE OF YOUR TIME. I'm halfway through this book,and it is awful. The first 150 pages have been nothing more than a sales pitch for Lean Six Sigma and why you should implement these improvement tools at your business. The book then discusses different LSS tools, and tells you why each tool is so great, and how they've helped so many other businesses. The book does NOT tell you how to utilize or implement these tools. If you're even slightly familiar with any LSS concepts, then you already know more than this book offers (at least in the first 150 pages!) I've been forcing my way through this book, waiting for the informative part,but after 150 pages, only several paragraphs have been worth reading. Do not buy this book; it's only purpose is to sell the LSS system to you, not explain LSS.
