Six Sigma is a set of methodologies, first created by Motorola to eliminate production defects, to help businesses create workable, measurable environments where quality and consistency are sustainable. Implementation of the program relies on trained in-house experts (Black Belts) who act as organizational guides in overseeing Six Sigma analysis and implementation. While Six Sigma is typically implemented in larger businesses, writer Craig Baird has created this simple manual to help small and medium sized business owners understand the program and how it might benefit their enterprises.

Six Sigma has taken the corporate world by storm and represents the thrust of numerous efforts in manufacturing and service organizations to improve products, services, and processes. Although Six Sigma brings a new direction to quality and productivity improvement, its underlying tools and philosophy are grounded in the fundamental principles of total quality and continuous improvement that have been used for many decades. Nevertheless, Six Sigma has brought a renewed interest in quality and improvement that few can argue with, and has kept alive the principles of total quality developed in the latter part of the 20th Century.

Design for Lean Six Sigmais the only book that employs a "road-map" approach to DFSS, which allows corporate management to understand where they are in the process and to integrate DFSS methodology more fully into their overall business strategy. This is a similar approach to that used by Forrest Breyfogle in his successful book: "Implementing Six Sigma, 2E". This approach will allow corporate management to understand where they are in the process and to integrate DFSS methodology more fully into the overall business strategy. Another important aspect of this book is its coverage of DFSS implementation in a broad range of industries including service and manufacturing, plus the use of actual cases throughout.
