 Stat Free Six Sigma Aug 04, 2008
As an experienced Six Sigma Black Belt, I have successfully utilized most of the tools described in Stat Free Six Sigma. The true genius of this book, as written by Praveen Gupta and Arvin Sri, is that it emphasizes the importance of developing improvement project results - quickly, rather than proving the statistical integrity of the improvement process. How refreshing!
Although not completely free of statistical references, the book greatly simplifies the utilization of statistics. The abbreviated "significance tables" developed for "F" and "Chi Square" are extremely practical, easy to use and understand. Most of the statistical tools described are simplified and require no calculator or computer assisted calculations.
While training others to become "six sigma belts", I feel, as many of the trainees do, that explaining and justifying each statistical tool is time consuming and tends to increase "fallout" especially among non-technical people. Utilizing this "Stat Free" approach should significantly reduce training time and training cost, while increasing trainee retention.
As with other improvement project successes, this book has provided a true breakthrough for organizations planning on adopting Six Sigma improvement processes. This simpler approach should ease management fears of implementing a more traditional, statistically rigorous Six Sigma improvement initiative.
Stat Free Six Sigma has become my new Six Sigma "bible" that I strongly recommend to all "quick results oriented" business managers.
Excellent reference for beginners or black belts Jul 26, 2007
The book is well organized, representing all the terms, tools, calculations, background and processes needed for a Six Sigma implementation. The way the DMAIC process is described specifically the Project Priority Index, is something that everyone can use to identify Black Belt projects that should be continued or funded.
 Don't let the title scare you Mar 27, 2007
The basic premise of the book is that the vast majority of six sigma projects do not need the more advanced statistical tools, but rather need a robust project management method. The title of the book is somewhat controversial, but if you get past that, the content is right on and takes you throught the basic DMAIC process without the DOE, regression, etc.
Quick introduction to Six Sigma for Quick Results Mar 02, 2007
Are you afraid of the cost to implement Six Sigma? Or perhaps you have a Six Sigma program that is not paying dividends. Praveen and Arvin's latest book "Virtually Stat Free Six Sigma - Focusing on intent for Quick Results" gives readers what they need in ½ a day to hit the ground running with the best of the best in Six Sigma.
