This reference manual is designed to help those interested in passing the ASQ's certification exam for Six Sigma Green Belts and others who want a handy reference to the appropriate materials needed to conduct successful Green Belt projects. It is a reference handbook on running projects for those who are already knowledgeable about process improvement and variation reduction. The primary layout of the handbook follows the ASQ Body of Knowledge (BoK) for the Certified Six Sigma Green Belt (CSSGB) updated in 2015. The authors were involved with the first edition handbook, and have utilized first edition user comments, numerous Six Sigma practitioners, and their own personal knowledge gained through helping others prepare for exams to bring together a handbook that they hope will be very beneficial to anyone seeking to pass the ASQ or other Green Belt exams. In addition to the primary text, the authors have added a number of new appendixes, an expanded acronym list, new practice exam questions, and other additional materials
The principles of Six Sigma are being used in nearly every industry to reduce waste and improve performance. However, most books on the subject are written only for those in manufacturing, and specifically for engineers or those with a high level of technical expertise. Meanwhile those working in offices receive little or no information on how to use Six Sigma in their environments. Now best-selling author Rod Munro has written a convenient book explaining the tools of Six Sigma, specifically tailored to those in the office. Six Sigma for the Office: A Pocket Guide is a convenient guide for anyone working on Six Sigma projects in non-manufacturing environments. Specifically written for those at the green belt level, this book will help explain the Six Sigma tools and show how they apply to those working in an office. All of the examples in the book are taken from the office environment, so office workers will easily identify and be able to apply these tools in their own jobs.
Practice questions and test to aid those studying to take the ASQ Certified Six Sigma Green Belt exam.

You've been trained and tested and you've been successful. Now, where will you take it from here? This book is intended for the Green Belt or anybody who has attended Six Sigma training and has been coached through a complete project, and who now wants to or needs to step out on their own and manage improvement projects without a dedicated coach.

Now that the first project is done, the coach has likely moved on to the next new ...
