Kubiak has been engaged with Six Sigma for several decades. This handbook is intended for those preparing for the certification exam, but he points out that even seasoned practitioners may find it useful as a convenient reference to Lean Six Sigma. He also explains that the handbook makes frequent reference to a previous volume, The Certified Six Sigma Black Belt Handbook, avoiding repetition of some of the material covered there but including some duplicate appendices so that this volume can better stand alone. Coverage includes enterprise-wide planning and deployment, training design and delivery, mentoring responsibilities, and advanced measurement methods and tools. The included CD-ROM contains practice exam questions and answers, and a simulated exam. Annotation 2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
