Six Sigma Project Management: A Pocket Guide provides a step-by-step approach to implementing a Six Sigma project, that can be easily applied within any type of organization. Author Jeffrey Lowenthal has written this easy to use, pocket-sized guidebook, based upon almost two years of research examining what works best within the Six-Sigma environment. Based on the author's own experiences as a Master Blackbelt, research and case studies, Six Sigma Project Management: A Pocket Guide has taken the DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve & Control) approach and outlined it within a Six-Step Methodology. This methodology serves as a roadmap for change, a sequential model that can be followed when deploying a sigma initiative within any company. This short and concise guide is straightforward and contains many graphics and flowcharts, which makes the information easy to follow and the book simple to use.
