The most comprehensive Six Sigma reference available, now revised and expanded!
Completely rewritten and reorganized, this second edition of The Six Sigma Handbook covers all the basic statistics and quality improvement tools of the Six Sigma management system. This new edition reflects the developments in Six Sigma in recent years and will help maintain the book's position as the leading comprehensive guide to Six Sigma.
Key changes to this edition include:
- New chapters on DFSS (Design for Six Sigma) and Lean.
- Includes numerous Minitab examples, the most popular statistical software for Six Sigma
- Six Sigma philosophy and values; new deployment methodology.
- Completely integrates materials using the DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control) problem-solving technique.
- Expanded new materials on important advanced Six Sigma tools such as FMEA (Failure Mode and Effects Analysis), DOE, and simulation.
- And much more!
What others have to say:
"As one would expect from this well known author
in the use of statistical methods for process improvement, his coverage
of the 'how' of Six Sigma (the technical part) is outstanding.
It is hard to imagine how so thorough a discussion of such topics could
be presented more clearly. However, the real strength of the book is that this
technical material is preceded by the 'why' of Six Sigma (the
management part) -- explaining what it takes to get management to 'buy
in' to the concept of using science to run a business (apparently
not an obvious concept). It has probably been the lack of sufficient attention
to the importance of this area that has caused so many 'Total Quality'
initiatives to flounder. This book will correct that oversight. Anyone
wishing to transform their company into one that routinely uses proven
scientific methods to realize significant gains in quality, productivity,
and sales should study this book carefully." David
B. Laney, Director of Statistical Methodology, BellSouth Corporation
"Every industrial statistician should buy this
book. It is the only complete Six Sigma book." Eric
R. Ziegel, BP Amoco Research Center, in review for November 2000 Technometrics
"I recently purchased your book "The Six
Sigma Handbook" and want to congratulate you on a job well done.
Most of the information in it is in a readable format and examples allow
the average reader to understand the concepts you are presenting. Furthermore,
the quality of the binding makes this book worthy of display in my library.
Books about SPC and statistics in general are usually too simple or too
complicated. This one is right on target."

"(The Six Sigma Handbook) was the most heavily
used reference during the ASQ exam, which I passed. I now value it as
a strong reference."
Richard Borden, President, Sigma Affiliates, Ltd.
"The Six Sigma Black Belt is the only ASQ certification exam (the others were CQE, CRE, CQA, and CQM) for which I made no real effort to prepare, except for buying Thomas Pyzdek's Six Sigma Handbook. (I recommend it highly if you plan to take the exam.) I relied on my degree and experience as an applied statistician, and I passed the exam the first time, in June 2001."
William A. Levinson, P.E, Principal, Levinson Productivity Systems, P.C.
