Six
Sigma the First 90 Days
delivers 380 pages organized into 16 succinct chapters, within three
sections: Part I, “Pre-Launch”; Part II,
“The First
90 Days”; and Part III, “Post-Launch”.
These sections
lead the reader from the initial stages of identifying the right
projects, through to post-launch efforts to ensure Six Sigma success
and momentum for an entire year and beyond. Throughout, Zinkgraf and
his contributors draw on their own master lessons from some of
industry’s most effective Six Sigma deployments. The authors
likewise deconstruct Six Sigma’s multifaceted potential to
attack
problems and drive process excellence, while also stimulating insights
that encourage creativity. The book is intended to be more practical
than theoretical; and it is designed to equip the reader with the
information and tools required to execute its recommendations, with or
without the assistance of external consultants.
“This
book was written to inspire leaders to
commit to deploying Six Sigma and to demystify the process,”
Zinkgraf said. “To quickly identify and initiate a change
program
will be the core competency for successful businesses in this decade.
This book demonstrates the way to deploy Six Sigma or any complex
change initiative within 90 days, and to ensure its momentum and
robustness in the long term,” he added.

Wedgwood’s
Lean
Sigma uses
practical tools and example projects to illustrate process improvement,
filling what he considers a previously empty niche within the
literature of Six Sigma. Tightly focused on walking readers through the
problem-solving roadmap and associated tools, the book is organized
into seven chapters, within three clear-cut sections: Part I- Project
Roadmaps; Part II- Roadmaps to Find Projects; Part III- Roadmaps to
Guide in the Practical Application of Each Lean Sigma Tool (55 tools
are presented).
“Einstein
once said: "In theory, theory and
practice are the same, in practice they are not.” My book
represents the practice of Lean Sigma, and my sincere wish is that
professionals, whether novice or multiple project veterans, can use the
tool and project roadmaps to accelerate their projects to gain better
results sooner,” Wedgwood said.
