Book on 6 Sigma
This is a great book on learning how to implement 6 Sigma processes (top quality )at any company.

too technical a read
If your are a mathematician who is an expert at statistics than this book is for you. It doesnt teach you but rather just provides equations which make no sense to someone who isnt an expert. Poorly written as well.
