En este libro he encontrado material complementario para mi nivel actual de conocimiento sobre el tema de LSS. Es sencillo para leer y seguir. Muy bien estructurado.

Twenty-five years ago I got interested in data-based decision making and management (back when it was called TQM). Recently, I joined the legions of those looking for work, and I kept bumping into “Lean Six Sigma” and “Black Belts,” etc. So I bought this book to find out what all the buzz was about. After reading it I conclude it is just that – buzz. It is basically TQM repackaged and re-sizzled more to support a new generation of guru consultants than transformational change of the way businesses and government agencies deliver value. There is a lot of information here to be sure, but I was left wondering when to use what. What this genre really needs is a compendium of detailed case study workbooks (something like the Nancy Drew mystery series)that takes real problems and walks the reader through the application of the appropriate tools step-by-step. The closest this book gets to that is Wayne and Fred’s excellent fishing adventure. And I always get a kick out of quality books that have mega-publishing errors. In this case the reader gets treated to a bonus appendix A-D plus index inserted smack in the middle of chapter 27. I have to wonder how that many extra pages were made to fit into the cover. Perhaps the makings of the first case study mystery?

I’d give this book 3. 5 stars rather than 4 if I could. There are good things about it, but there are also bad. My main complaint is that while I appreciate the level of detail, that’s also the book’s major downfall. It’s not consistent. Some parts ARE for “idiots,” but others aren’t. I like that the authors repeat certain terms and concepts to make sure readers understand them, but they also gloss over other things that they must think either the reader already knows (e. g. , some statistics concepts, symbols in tables) or they don’t think are important. A more minor point I have to make is that there are terms in the text that aren’t listed in the index or glossary. All that said, I know it’s impossible to make one book all things for all people.

The roadmap proposed by this book is easy to follow and gives you a good integration between lean and six sigma. One other thing that I like is that it’s very graphical to help people that are starting with this journey. This is a good reference for Champions and Belts that have been involved in six sigma for some time and are looking on how to integrate lean. It is also a nice place to start for Belts that are just starting their first LSS projects; put attention to the “Performance Pitfall” and “Lean Six Sigma Wisdom” boxes, these are good things to keep in mind.
