More so as a sales pitch for QI macros and brief outlook of lean six sigma. will recommend to managers with no prior experience with lean six sigma for a narrative overview

This book is reasonable and a quick overview, but my no means an extensive or indepth analysis of the process or how to execute Lean Six Sigma. Ok for beginners, but you will need another book for a more details and to walk you through the process.

This is an excellent book for anyone interested in applying lean six sigma to a healthcare environment. Jay focuses on tools that are fast to learn and immediately applied. Supported by case studies along with a number of interesting industry statistics.
