Worth the buy!.......2004-04-02
I have not found such a comprehensive book for design of six sigma. I started using this book for advanced experimental design and taguchi methods, but ended understanding the complete roadmap for design of six sigma. The systems approach allows an enthusiast reader to start anywhere, without having to spend time refering back to earlier chapters. The relatively newer trends as TRIZ and axiomatic design have also been nicely dealt with.
Overall, this is a very nice and easy read book, with excellent and well defined examples. A must for everyone who wants a quick refresher on the design principles of six sigma.
A book serves all your needs.......2004-04-02
This is an outstanding DFSS book for production development. It contains integrated information and some of which you could hardly find anywhere else, thus with one book in hand, you have all the tools to get to your destination. This is also a easy to read book providing the reader with a solid understanding- Concepts are clearly defined, real world examples/ case studies are fully described and the chapters are well organized. It can serve as a textbook for students/beginners and also can serve as a handbook for experienced engineers.
The title says it all- this is a roadmap for you to find the way correctly and easily. I am reading the book right now, and the book is really beneficial to me.
Full of information and errors.......2004-03-30
This is a book with a lot of information. Each chapter can be used as a starting point for a specific six sigma technique. However, this is the worst edited book I have ever read. You can hardly find one page without errors/typos.
A matchless guide.......2003-08-03
While the concept of six-sigma is a very popular one, it is not often that one can find such a comprehensive yet clearly-written volume devoted to the most important topics of six-sigma. A book that contains so much information and not just hot air is especially hard to find. Yang and El-Haik have successfully written one of the most impressive and useful reads I have ever encountered within this field. Especially intriguing and novel concept of TRIZ. A very worthwhile book, in any case.
Application Oriented.......2003-07-01
In recent times, there has been a lot of talk and hype about DFSS with very little substance thus far--until this one! I found the book an easy read, application oriented and a relatively prescritive approach to apply DFSS for products, processes and/or services. The sections on TRIZ and Axiomatic Design expose the opportunities largely untapped in the design world today. A must read book for organizations serious about Six Sigma--whether they are focused on delivering worldclass products and services to their customers or designing processes to run world class business operations--a thumbs up all the way!!
Book Description
Quality management. Process mapping. Speed to production. In the past 50 years, a rigorous, measurement-based methodology called Six Sigma has brought production management to previously unimaginable levels of success and sophistication. Top corporations such as Motorola and GE have built their reputations, products, and revenues using this approach. Indeed, Six Sigma has found widespread application in every significant industry and business—except marketing and sales.
In Sales and Marketing the Six Sigma Way, sales and quality guru Michael Webb shows how to blend marketing and sales efforts with the cutting-edge methods of Six Sigma to boost their bottom lines. With Webb’s book as a guide, readers learn to engineer rapid routes to customer value, accurately predict future revenue, and ensure return on investment for their projects.
In Sales and Marketing the Six Sigma Way, you will:
* Find out why ""the usual fixes"" for sales problems don't work
* Meet executives who have used Six Sigma to imrpove marketing and sales results
* See the pitfalls that await the unwary when applying process improvement in sales
* Learn how to introduce Six Sigma to sales and marketing professionals
* Discover through examples and cases how to manage sales as a process
Webb walks readers through several Six Sigma sales and marketing projects from start to finish, highlighting the tools, decisions, and results that made them successful. He shows the practical methods managers use to translate process improvement principles to the human world of selling and marketing.
With his dual background in sales and marketing management and in quality improvement, Webb speaks clearly to readers in both disciplines. This makes Sales and Marketing the Six Sigma Way the indispensible guide for sales and marketing professionals who want to excel in today's business environment, and for quality improvement experts who want to help them.
Customer Reviews:
A Must Read for CEOs Tired of Same Old Sales Excuses.......2007-08-17
This book tackles the central marketing problem of our time ....too many suspects, and an ever dwindling number of qualified prospects. Mr. Webb untangles this problem and then shows you how to design a selling system to be an ever improving "machine". A fun read with lots of how-to and examples.
It's a PE Book.......2007-07-24
It's Good to me, I work for jnj of china. it helps and leads me do the project is well
Merging Six Sigma with Sales & Marketing.......2007-07-20
Michael Webb has done a fantastic job with merging the six sigma methodology with the sales & marketing disciplines. This book takes the six sigma practice, that has long been used in the manufacturing circles, and applies it to the sales function in a way that is both concise and understandable. Six sigma promises to change the future of sales just as it has manufacturing, and this book is the road map for that journey. I would not only highly recommend this book to anyone in the sales and/or marketing arena, but consider it a must read.
Sales & Marketing the Six Sigma Way.......2007-04-03
I found this book invaluable. As a brand marketing consultant I face a barrage of misguided engineers and production minded individual who deam marketing as puffery. This book provided me a greater insight in turning these folks into marketing partners. Engineers and marketing consultants have more in common than they know - Sales & Marketing the Six Signa Way identifies how these two can and should come closer together to seek and implement the voice of the customer in establishing and marketing superior customer value.
A Great Explanation of the Sales Process.......2007-03-22
This is the first book I've read that truly and fully explains how to analyze the selling (and marketing) process and improve it. Six Sigma is not easy to understand to those who have never studied it, but the Author explains it very clearly and thoroughly. I've read a lot of sales and marketing books and this is the first one I have come across that acknowledges that selling today is very different than it used to be. Many of the existing sales books are completely out of date and were written for a different era. This book is a fresh new look at the sales process overall and where the obstacles may be.
Book Description

A bibliography, a comprehensive glossary, and an index are provided.
Customer Reviews:
A truly comprehensive and practical book........2004-12-21
I am so impressed with this book! The author covers, in a logical and integrated way, eighteen practical and immediately deployable tips and tools for the cost reduction and value enhancement of any product. I particularly love the "Twenty-Cost-Lever" tradeoff tool; we are already using this to great advantage in my division. I was also impressed with the level of detail and the very readable, step by step directions for implementing the tools. The author clearly is an experienced practitioner and understands just what the reader needs to know to achieve success. I highly recommend this book!
Waste of My Time.......2004-12-14
I find the material to be a minimalized version of the true tools based in quality lean material. As a practicing continuous improvment specialist i expected more than I got in this trivial account of what should be considered a very important event in a corporate life cycle.
Designing products requires exceptional detail. Likewise I expect someone writing a book on the topic to provide exceptional tools and details. This book is superficial at best and points you in a direction, unfortunately it is the wrong direction.
An Extremely Valuable Book!.......2004-09-19
This was one of the most practical and useful books I've come across for product designers and team leaders. I've already implemented several of the "lean design tools" and believe that they will make a real difference in our firm's profits. The book is comprehensive, the writing style is clear and entertaining, and the numerous graphics are interesting and helpful. I would recommend this book to anyone who is looking for some new ways to squeeze cost out of their products.
An expert compendium of solid advice.......2004-08-10
The Lean Design Guidebook: Everything Your Product Development Team Needs To Slash Manufacturing Cost by project management expert and consultant Ronald Mascitelli is a spiral-bound guide presenting eighteen practical tools for reducing manufacturing costs. From Six-Sigma Design to Value Engineering, Toyota's Production Preparation Process (3P), and much more, The Lean Design Guidebook presents metrics and tested methods for reducing waste, extensive checklists, step-by-step instructions, and much more. An expert compendium of solid advice.

Excellent!.......2007-05-21
The book offers an entirely new perspective on training programs.
It will be extremely handy for any training and development professional.
New Insight.......2007-01-11
I think this book provides new insight to a topic in a manner that can be used in varied organizational settings. As an administrator at a major University, I especially liked the fact that this book is written in a way that even the non Six Sigma exert can pick it up and apply the principles.
Fantastic!!.......2007-01-09
Anyone in a leadership position endeavoring to create value through
their human assets should study this book. Developing and Measuring
Training the Six Sigma Way is the book on how to do it.

Customer Reviews:
Challenging but worthwhile.......2007-08-13
I don't disagree that Creveling's book is a challenging read, but I do think it's a worthwhile and reasonably comprehensive text on the topics. Many of the methods presented require a certain level of sophistication to execute correctly. If you don't understand the material, maybe you shouldn't be trying to use some of the tools.
Designing for Six Sigma.......2005-02-03
Disclosure: I'm a competitor of Skip's in the Design for Six Sigma field.
Skip obviously knows his stuff - he's written one of the most detailed descriptions of DFSS around. His differentiation of a methodology for technology development and product development is an important concept. The book provides a detailed step-by-step description of how to design a product for Six Sigma performance.
However, the book is really a tough read. I've been working in the DFSS field for the last 7 years and I found it a tough go. The methodology descriptions, while detailed, suffer from a lack of examples or a case study.
My other critique is that Skip describes the DFSS "nirvana" - if your development process is a bit informal, you'll start asking yourself "How in the world will I ever get to DFSS?" Some thoughts around how to transition from a typical development process to a DFSS-based approach would have been helpful.
Finally, one of my clients handed this book out to virtually all their engineers at the beginning of their DFSS iniative. When, a year or two later, I'd ask the engineers if they had the book, the answer was invariably "Yes." When I'd asked if they'd read the book, however, the answer was just as invariably "No."
If you already know about DFSS, its a great reference. If not, go buy one of the introductory books first.
Book Description
The primary objective of this new book is to provide a comprehensive reference for those who work in a service industry setting. Unlike Design for Six Sigma a Roadmap for Product Development, this new book will address the 5 leading issues in the service industry, which are customer satisfaction, cost reduction, value improvement, change management and process performance measurements.
Customer Reviews:
A must for any service large or small.......2006-03-08
This is a great book which tackles most of the difficult issues confronting service organizations (as opposed to manufacturing) as they strive for excellence.
As a key player in the field of Process Management I am keenly aware of the cause of failure for most service businesses. The primary defect in in many service businesses is that they often lack Customer Focus.
This book brings the issue of customer focus onto center stage by discussing the concepts of value as the core basis for successful brand development. In addition to very good philosophical discussions the book also provides several useful tools such as TRIZ and Service Process Management that are essential for DFSS deployment in a service environment. The book also has good examples that illustrate application of the tools. It would be great if several complete case studies can be provided in a future edition.
very good.......2006-02-03
very good book and well written however it has only theory and not calculations of using six sigma to improve.
Good for those new to six sigma who want to find out how six sigma can help their organisations.
Excellent Guide.......2005-07-03
As a former business manager and a current marketing executive, I've had extensive experience in various sectors of the service industry. What makes customers come back? What puts a brand name that everyone recognizes on a product or service? Starbucks doesn't serve a radically different product from a no-name coffeeshop, but it takes quite a bit of market savvy and good business management for success in the service industry. This book gives the answers for success in three most important aspects of this industry: consistently good quality of products/services, efficient management of the delivery process, and positive customer/provider interactions. It's not the backing of a rich uncle and the hiring of supermodels to film commercials that distinguishes the best from the mediocre, it's correct management and good service methods. Out of all the books I've read on the topic, this is certainly one of the best.
Book Description
When we first met Joe Meter in Subir Chowdhury’s The Power of Six Sigma, he had been laid off from his job at American Burger. After a transformational lunch that same day with former colleague and friend Larry Hogan, Joe was converted to the power of Six Sigma, a methodology that increases customer satisfaction and dramatically cuts costs. In The Power of Design for Six Sigma, it is several years later and the tables have turned. Now it is Joe’s turn to inspire Larry, who is disillusioned at work and wants to turn in his resignation—that is, until his conversation with his old friend.
Over coffee, Joe explains to Larry why Design for Six Sigma, or DFSS, is the only way to reach new heights of success. “Implementing Six Sigma can only take a company so far,” Joe explains. “Organizations that want to reach the next level of efficiency need to adopt a program called Design for Six Sigma.” Learn why DFSS is important across all departments, all levels, and all functions in an organization. DFSS is about creating products and services that are designed with the customer in mind—about designing things the right way, the first time.
Customer Reviews:
Oh no not again.......2006-03-04
This book is as silly and stupid as his last DFSS book "Design for Six Sigma". Don't buy it, don't borrow it! If you are looking for a serious book try "Design for Six Sigma: Innovation for Enhanced Competitiveness " by Gregory Watson instead.
Packed with Knowledge!.......2004-05-20
When last we saw Joe Meter, the fictitious hero of Subir Chowdhury's last Six Sigma book (The Power of Six Sigma), he was looking for work. His friend Larry Hogan introduced him to Six Sigma, which made Joe a huge success. According to the story, which is a novelistic construct for conveying business advice, now Joe is going to tutor Larry on a more advanced form of Six Sigma, one that delves into the very process of system design. This "meta-Six Sigma" appears to be a natural evolution of the basic Six Sigma approach, namely, to uncover the root causes of defects, inefficiency and customer dissatisfaction - and to fix them as part of the intrinsic design of the company and its processes. This book covers the design concept, but not the initial details of Six Sigma itself. Here, Chowdhury again explains a complex subject in a lucid manner, if you don't mind an alphabet soup of acronyms. We strongly recommend this book for anyone in management, or anyone who is experiencing a change initiative.
DFSS For Dummies.......2003-06-10
This book explains the advantages of investing in DFSS; it emphasizes that stopping at Six Sigma is not good enough because one can not go beyond 5 Sigma. Subir Chowdhury narrates the DFSS process in a very refreshing and anecdotal way. If you like reading stories and upshots, this is the book for you. Prior knowledge of Six Sigma is not required. This book only gives a high-level overview of how DMADV or DMEDDI or IDDOV was applied by a restaurant chain. I would recommend buying another thick book to get all the nitty gritty details like QFD or Robust Design Optimization because the method is as important as the result
The big picture of Design for Six Sigma.......2003-05-04
This book is not so much a how to do Design for Six Sigma, but why. It is a very easy read with an entertaining style. I keep copies around to loan out, and occasionally to refer to.
Its greatest asset for me was providing a big picture that helped explain what DFSS is to those who don't yet know the details. If you try to explain DFSS to people by jumping into the details of how to do it, they often won't have the patience to hear you out. This book helped me answer the most basic questions like "What do all the different DFSS programs have in common?".
Because it is such an easy and entertaining read, it can be used to generate enthusiasm in the team. It is definitely not a dry technical book.
Be prepared to order more books that give more detail on how to do DFSS.
Don't buy this book, borrow it........2003-04-15
I read this book as an introduction to the concept of Design for Six Sigma. My motivation to do this was that my company has begun implementing the management technique. Like Mr. Chowdhury's preceding book The Power of Six Sigma, this book has some serious flaws.
First of all, despite being a better-written book than the previous "Power" book, it is still hampered by a jumble of unrelated examples and metaphors. In this installment the master has become the disillusioned student and his student has become the confident master.
This book does provide a basic overview of Design for Six Sigma, but once attain is a cleverly disguised attempt to make money by exploiting the latest management buzz.
This books is slightly longer that The Power of Six Sigma. However, the author's writing style continues to distract you from easily learning the information.
My recommendation is to check it out from the library if you really want to read the book for the basic introduction to Design for Six Sigma.
