N2  - "Lean Sigma and Six Sigma are process improvement methodologies. While previously seen as somewhat separate, more and more companies are coming to realize that best results can be achieved by blending the two. In brief, Lean Sigma focuses on removing the things that shouldn't be done, while Six Sigma focuses on doing perfectly the things that should be done. In both fields there have been many books written giving the business rationale for adopting Six/Lean Sigma, and many written giving an overview of what Six Sigma and Lean Sigma are, as well as many written giving the technical details of the tools involved. The aim of this book is to give a road map for choosing the right tools, and using them correctly. As one reviewer put it, this book ""fills a void between theory and technology."" It is a book that can be used practically day-to-day by Lean/Six Sigma teams."
