Reviews

From the reviews: A basic introduction to six sigma concepts, this book provides added depth to some statistical concepts. Theodore Allen uses a wide variety of example types to show the value of tools ranging from administrating medication in a hospital to welding with robotics. ! One of the main points that Allen makes throughout the book is that, you do not need to understand all the theory behind the statistics to benefit from these tools. I recommend this book. (Roger Sauter, Boeing, in Technometrics, Vol. 49 (2), 2007)
