Good Day Tom,
While I have been a lean practitioner for a while, I was never certified. I am rectifying that now, studying and going for certification as a CSSBB as soon as a I have a project. Your book sounds like a definitive element of anyone’s Six Sigma and TQM library, and would help me immensely in my studies and efforts going forward. I would be honored to be considered for free copy, and the previous idea of having it autographed is great.

Tom, what a great idea! I’ve worked with Six Sigma in various companies and have taught Green Belt and Yellow Belt training, as well as mentored two MBB’s, but all without a great reference like this book! Will be able to use this book as my go-to reference on Six Sigma – thanks so much for running this contest!

Tom, Your book will assist me in my career and provide me with additional insight in to using 6-Sigma tools to produce processes that are simple, systematic and sustainable. Being overly complex causes waste, a good example is our current economic situation, things are so complex that we could not monitor them effectively. Thank you, Gary

Your earlier work helped me attain my ASQ QE certification; I feel certain that this book will be an aid to my work as a black belt.

As an ASQ certified black belt, I can say that the 2nd edition material was a major part of helping me pass my certification. I look forward to seeing the new edition.

Ok Ok Ok….enough kissing butt! I wanna see if my suggestions after receiving my certified Six Sigma Black Belt got in! LOL My 2nd edition book is more than well-thumbed, book marked, underlined and highlighted…and I need an upgrade to work from.
How about I tell you that I will absolutely NOT treasure it…I’m planning to use it, dude! I hope to wreck this one the same way I trashed my first one carrying it from one project to the next.

Tom,

Good morning!
I hold a position within my organization where understanding Six Sigma is key to working with companies who use Six Sigma and need assistance with various aspects of quality. I do not have any reference materials regarding Six Sigma; indeed, receiving a copy of your book would be a great way to begin my library of Six Sigma materials. I am most interested in obtaining a Black Belt in Six Sigma to further my knowledge and skill set.
Thank you and congratulations on your book release.
Best regards,
Diane Wilson

I am looking at accelerating DFSS with methods that will prove the value of variation prediction during design and development. No more will folks have to wait until production. Much valuable work has historically gone undervalued and forgotten, simply because the time lag between engineering design and production implementation.
Tolerance and variation prediction supports Lean Six Sigma fully. I look forward to reading this book too.

It would be an honour to receive a copy of the Six Sigma Handbook – as they are always a handy tool to have.

I have your “What Every Engineer Should Know about Quality Control” and “The Handbook for Quality Management”, and would LOVE a copy of “The Six Sigma Handbook” – especially a signed copy. Both What Every Engineer should know… and …Quality Management are among my favorite work references.
Thank you very much for this kind offer – I’ll keep my fingers crossed!

Tom,
I am just starting out with my role as a Leader in a Lean manufacturing environment. It seems like your book could be a great asset in helping me with my job.
loading...

I am at a crossroads–trying to help my employer embrace change to improve productivity, work quality, and worker satisfaction in a notorious conservative industry (construction) and starting an MBA program at a local university.
I believe that your book will help me navigate both of these challenges more thoughtfully and successfully.

My work has been in the after-sales product support services business (sometimes called the after-market).
This business area is ripe for application of 6S tools as the support business is often not considered as a profit center in some firms. Yet service often returns a higher gross profit than product sales in the same firm.
I am looking forward to seeing the material in the Third Edition as it applies to the product service business.

Congratulations on the book! I will be taking a masters certificate course for a black Belt at York university in september. I would like to receive a copy of The Six Sigma Handbook: Third Edition. Thanks

Thank you for the opportunity to learn more about the many things we have yet to know about Quality. I am a student working on my M. S. Organizational Leadership and Quality, and this book will be immensely useful for future projects, ideas, concepts for my academic and practical world. Thanks for the offer, your sharing of information is greatly appreciated by all.
All the best,

I was planning on purchasing the 3rd edition when released, so this is a great opportunity to receive the book as a giveaway. I see from the amount of entries that, statistically speaking, my chances aren’t fantastic. But as they say, “If you don’t enter, you can’t win!” Thanks for the possibility; this is a great reference for Six Sigma.
