This Book Is Worth The Money
Warren Brusee gets right into the thick of Six Sigma from the very beginning. The author discusses shortcuts and simpler methods than traditional Six Sigma processes that are equally as effective.

Statistics and Quantitative Methods have never been particularly friends of mine. This book is approachable, reads well, has very clear examples, and sample problems.

If you are looking for a book to introduce you to Six Sigma, and teach some very useful tools, make this the first book on the subject you buy.

Facil de leer y de entender, un texto magnifico
Es un libro de altisima calidad, escrito en un lenguaje simple y fácil de entender. Altamente recomendable para todo aquel que quiera introducirse en los conceptos de SixSigma

Recommended for Managers of all levels
I like the level of detalization in this book and simple language explaining the concept, application of statistics, and Sigma methods. The value of this book from my practical point of view is the Case Studies which help to better understand when and how statistics for Six Sigma can be used.
