Among the many additions are: more exercises, particularly to address the more difficult concepts new tables and figures to clarify concepts new content between the DMAIC parts of the book (that is, Parts IV-VII) to help smooth the transition between phases and to better relate the underlying concepts of the DMAIC methodology and more content that ensures that the black belt is fully trained in concepts taught to the green belt.
The primary audience for this work is the individual who plans to prepare to sit for the Six Sigma black belt certification examination. A secondary audience for the handbook is the quality and Six Sigma professional who would like a relevant Six Sigma reference book.
Salient Features
The accompanying CD contains 180 supplementary problems covering each chapter and a 150-question simulated exam that has problems distributed among chapters per the scheme published in the BOK.
