Summary: Six Sigma Pocket Guide
Review: Don't let the small size of this book fool you!! It is packed with great information. It gives a brief review of the tools used for Six Sigma. They are organized along the DMAIC model. A chapter covers each of the phases of the model. It covers the tools that are commonly used in each phase of the model along with why it is useful in this phase and a short synpopsis on how it works.For example tools covered in Define are: Project Chater, Stakeholder analysis, SIPOC, Rolled Throughput Yield, Voice of the Customer,Affinity Diagrams, Kano Model, Critical to Quality Tree etc. The chapter on Measure covers things like Control Charts, Frequency plots, Gage R & R, Pareto Charts, FMEA etc. This book is an excellent introduction to the tools used in Six Sigma or problem solving techniques. It is also an excellent pocket reference for trained practioners to use to set up problem resolution steps!!

Summary: The Best Pocket Guide to Six Sigma Available
Review: I don't due encomiums very often (check out the rest of my reviews); but Rath & Strong's pocket guide simply floored me. I bought a dozen several months ago to try out on my black belts and green belts. They snapped them up and refused to return them. My own copy is already dog-eared and tattered from overuse. This is a wonderful tool. It breaks down the methodology in clear, concise steps and provides a desperately-needed matrix showing which tools are typically employed at each phase. It offers short, effective descriptions of the most commonly-used tools. As someone who'd been given to lugging Breyfogle's "Implementing Six Sigma" to meetings, Rath & Strong's guide has been a welcome relief. Pick yours up today.

Summary: Rath & Strong Six Sigma Pocket Guide
Review: I use this book quite a bit - infact I bought it for all my greenbelts as well. This is a very concise reference for most concepts a newbie to 6 Sigma will learn.
I wonder if they will ever come out with a downloadable version for my Palm:)
