The Medicine of Lean Six Sigma: And the 5 Side Effects to Avoid

About the Author

From the time I first learned about lean manufacturing principles, I developed a never-ending thirst for learning all I can about organizational change and continuous improvement. Doing so shaped my background as a manufacturing engineering and continuous improvement manager, and helped me guide organizations in applying teachings from lean, statistics, theory of constraints, continuous improvement, and the business management principles of W. Edwards Deming.
