Summary: Best Green Belt Manual That We Have Found
Review: The Six Sigma for the Shop Floor is the best Green Belt level manual that we have found on the market that helps our people understand the processes of Six Sigma. We are starting to see some very good results from our general workforce helping and supporting our Black Belts in collecting data to solve issues that we have been struggling with for years. We now can get accurate, useful data instead of just trying to resolve old problems.

Dr. Munro has given our people an easy to understand process that is helping to encourage more people to get involved with problem solving in our plants. In one case, we had three operations dealing with injection molding and machining of a plastic part that goes into one of our assemblies. After using Six Sigma for the Shop Floor, one of the Green Belts suggested that we could eliminate the second operation if we could figure out how to balance the parts coming from the mold. The manual gave the Green Belts the understanding of what the Black Belt was doing to give them more input to the problem solving process. We were successful in eliminating the second process and now use parts directly from the injection-molding machine that are balanced and ready for coating and assembly.

We are starting to encourage our suppliers to use Six Sigma for the Shop Floor in their operations and to work with our Black Belts. We encourage the use of this book!
