Lean and Mean Process Improvement

Lean and Mean Process Improvement is a straight forward presentation of the tools of Lean Six Sigma process improvement. It touches on market analysis, team building, easy to use graphical tools and easy to understand explanations of statistical tools. This approach is not by accident. Lean Six Sigma process improvement has too long been focused on corporate wide roll-outs and "quality programs". That approach to improving business performance is based more upon words than deeds, more upon supervision than leadership. Lean and Mean Process Improvement is written to be used by people at the cubicle and office level to help them succeed within a Lean Six Sigma initiative. This bottom-up approach will help senior management to understand processes "out on the floor" and how they impact the customer chain all the way to the end user.

5KirKus Discoveries Book Review Excerpt  Dec 23, 2009
By W. W. McIntyre "mcinww"
KIRKUS Discoveries Review....

McIntyre harnesses 15 years of experience in process improvement to produce this specialized book designed to help members of an office analyze and improve their performance and articulate their processes to senior management.
This book explains, in detail, the aspects of the Six Sigma process-improvement methodology. McIntyre focuses on the five phases of this methodology, including defining the problem process at hand, gathering data that accurately represents the process in question, analyzing that data to determine any defects, improving the process based on that data and making sure that gains from changing the process are maintained. He approaches each phase independently, giving a detailed overview of what someone looking to improve a process might do as they progress through all of them. The end product of the journey should be an improved process that helps customers get the results they're looking for and, therefore, helps business grow. McIntyre intends for this book to be useful to "ground floor" workers--those in cubicles and offices actually living out the processes in question...McIntyre tries to define his terms and make his specialized material as accessible as possible..... the information presented here could help a lot of companies solve problems and grow.
Has much to offer those trying to improve their business.
