Implementing
Six Sigma, Smarter Solutions Using Statistical Methods
Forrest W, Breyfogle III; John Wiley & Sons
ISBN 0-471-29659-7
This text emphasizes the quantitative aspects of six sigma
including basic statistical methods, SPC, MSA and DOE. It provides
comprehensive coverage of the methods, although the coverage of most
areas is too brief for self study by the novice. Its main use is as
a reference and to fill in gaps in one's knowledge. It should certainly
be on the bookshelf of any Six Sigma Black Belt.
Highly recommended, particularly for trainers or candidates
for the ASQ CSSBB |

The
Six Sigma Handbook
Thomas Pyzdek; McGraw Hill
ISBN 0-07-141015-5
This text includes thorough coverage of the DMAIC methodology
and six sigma deployment. It provides a balanced coverage that is
closely aligned to the ASQ CSSBB syllabus. The answer to most of
the questions in the ASQ CSSBB exam would be in the book somewhere,
and in a fairly specific form. A solid book that should stand on
your bookshelf next to Breyfogle.
Highly recommended, particularly for trainers or candidates
for the ASQ CSSBB

Statistical Process Control (SPC) |
 |
Introduction
to Statistical Quality Control
Montgomery; Wiley
ISBN 0-471-30353-4
This is probably the most respected and authoritative
text in the field. It covers the same material as several
undergraduate textbooks. The focus is on Control Charts,
but it also covers Designed Experiments and Reliability.
Montgomery has a clear and incisive writing style. Although
this is an excellent work of reference, it is a fairly
advanced text.
An excellent reference, obligatory for the serious
professional. |

Fundamentals
of Quality Control and Improvement
Mitra; Prentice Hall
ISBN 0-13-645086-5
This is another respected undergraduate text
and covers much the same ground as Montgomery. Mitra is
not as incisive or authoritative as Montgomery, but the
text is written at a slightly lower level and is probably
easier to understand. The downside is that the text suffers
from poor proof-reading, particularly in the examples,
and this can be confusing.
Not as authoritative as Montgomery but easier to understand.

Probability
and Statistics for Engineering and the Sciences
Devore; Brooks/Cole
ISBN 0-53-437281-3
This book is designed as a text book to be
used in a typical college course, and covers much the
same material as many other similar texts. I find that
this one is clearly written and rather more practical
than most, and the examples are relevant and varied.
One of the problems with many statistics texts
is that, because the notation and approach is built
up throughout the book, it is difficult to understand
an isolated topic. Although this book does not avoid
that completely, it is not as frustrating as many.
A good choice for practitioners.

Basic
Statistics, Tools for Continuous Improvement
Kiemele, Schmidt, Berdine; Air Academy Press
ISBN 1-880156-06-7
An excellent book. It is clearly written and
written from a practical perspective. It is unusual, and
valuable, in that it aimed at the practitioner, rather
than the undergraduate. Despite the title the focus is
on the tools for continuous improvement, rather than on
statistics. It includes the Design of Experiments, Statistical
Process Control, Reliability and Quality Function Deployment.
It contains extensive case studies.
Highly recommended, very relevant to practitioners. |

Design of Experiments (DOE) |
 |
Design
and Analysis of Experiments
Montgomery; Wiley
ISBN 0-471-31649-0
This is the most authoritative text on the subject. It is
extremely thorough, but is aimed at a high level. You will need a
good grasp of mathematics and statistics to follow it properly. If
you are serious about the design of experiments then you need this
book.
Obligatory for the serious professional. |

Understanding
Industrial Designed Experiments
Schmidt & Launsby; Air Academy Press
ISBN 1-880156-03-2
A very accessible book that explains the Design of Experiments
in an understandable way. It places the material in the context of
process improvement, rather than in an academic context. About half
the book is devoted to the theory, and the rest to case studies.
Highly recommended, very relevant to practitioners. |
