Six Sigma and Lean Manufacturing Books

Since 1995, The Oaklea Press has been supplying business leaders all over the world with books and information about Six Sigma and Lean Manufacturing. We have watched and participated in the huge growth in demand for knowledge and information that has accompanied what is often referred to as the Lean Six Sigma movement.

Indeed, a new way of doing business has taken hold globally during that time that sets aside the outdated techniques of mass production, and the dubious quality and inefficiencies it breeds, to embrace the principles of continuous flow, building quality into products instead of trying to inspect it in, mistake proofing or poka yoke, root cause problem solving, and pull scheduling accompanied by inventory reduction and elimination. Our books are used in the continuous pursuit and identification of activities and expenses that do not add value to a product for the end user.

Called "muda," this waste is to be systematically identified and eliminated. Our books are also used in Six Sigma training, they are used to help guide leaders of empowered teams, they are used by product development engineers to unleased creativity, and they are used to give new employees an overview of Six Sigma.
