Packed with detailed examples and step bystep instructions, it's the ideal handy reference guide to help Green and Black Belts make the transition from the classroom to the field. Features brief summaries and examples of the 70 most important tools in Lean Six Sigma, such as "Pull," "Heijunka," and "Control Charts" Groups tools by purpose and usage Offers a quick, easy reference on using the DMAIC improvement cycle Provides comprehensive coverage in a compact, portable format Review: Great resource/refresher for all levels - Love this book. I work a lot in the OpEx/Process Improvement space and this book acts as a friendly reminder of all the tools that are at my disposal. Hopping industries can often leave you wondering if a tool is applicable and this serves as that refresher. Also a great book for junior resources who often lack industry experience. This can get them up and running and using the LSS lexicon. Review: Quick reference guide for your LSS projects - The Lean Six Sigma Pocket Toolbook I purchased this pocket toolbook knowing it wouldn't be a comprehensive book discussing the theories, principles, and background of Lean principles. I have taken numerous Master and Doctorate level courses related to Production and Manufacturing, so I have an understanding of DMAIC and lean six sigma. I only wanted the pocket guide for selecting the right tools to achieve the tollgate deliverables for projects at work, and as a quick reference (Cliff Notes so to speak) for each of the tollgates. As a result, I feel this book succeeds as being a pocket guide. It isn't a full textbook but it is detailed enough to get the job done. The various tools featured in the book (value added analysis, fishbone diagram, Pareto charts, etc... are valuable as they are presented in a high-level format to guide you towards the tollgate deliverables. Overall: 5/5 stars, should be sitting on your shelf if you work with LSS projects at work. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #9,034 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #1 in Six Sigma Quality Management #1 in Quality Control (Books) #108 in Business Management (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 3,265 Reviews | ## Images ![The Lean Six Sigma Pocket Toolbook: A Quick Reference Guide to 100 Tools for Improving Quality and Speed - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61iCjEjCZLL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great resource/refresher for all levels *by J***. on July 31, 2025* Love this book.

No, it is not a book that is going to add any knowledge to an experienced quality resource as many reviews state, but it is a very good tool for teaching new CPI resources. I am currently in a teaching role where this book is handed out to every participant. In fact, if the books do not arrive in time, it is disruptive to the teaching flow. For most topics in the class there is an equivalent area of the Toolbook that I can first refer to before going into the main material. I have an established nightly reading plan that will take a participant through the entire book in the course of a two-week introductory CPI class. I teach some topics entirely from the Toolbook, for example, C&E Matrix and DoE. There are some key concept pages that we turn to and read together, for example, page 70 Types of Data, page 118 Types of Variation. The section on hypothesis testing provides some very good plain language descriptions of the basic concepts that help people get through the initial learning. I am on my third copy where I coil bind and add tabs for quick reference. I carry this book wherever I go when teaching or working on CPI projects; there are almost daily opportunities to open it and discuss some aspect of CPI. If I were to change anything about the book, I would make it flow in more of a DMAIC fashion with some additional information about the use of the tools in the context of a project. There is a section that does this to some extent, but somewhat general. Many minor typos remain in the book from the first edition, but no technical errors that I have found. The PDF version that has been around for some time is not formatted very well, with page breaks in the wrong locations and tables not converting well. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Lean Six Sigma Pocket Toolbook: A Quick Reference Guide to 100 Tools for Improving Quality and Speed - Six Sigma: A Complete Step-by-Step Guide: A Complete Training & Reference Guide for White Belts, Yellow Belts, Green Belts, and Black Belts - Lean Six Sigma QuickStudy Laminated Reference Guide (QuickStudy Business) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/1704823-the-lean-six-sigma-pocket-toolbook-a-quick-reference-guide](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/1704823-the-lean-six-sigma-pocket-toolbook-a-quick-reference-guide) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-16*
