Decent Foundation Knowledge
This book is great for basic foundation knowledge. Unfortunately, this particular audio version of the book skips important concepts, and entire chapters, of the written version. Don't count on the audio book to teach you the statistical components that are required in Six Sigma. The audio version simply glazes over these concepts and assures the reader that they'll be able to figure it out in Minitab or any other credible piece of software.

Great for an $8 first intro to Six Sigma.
Needs an update, as the references are outdated.
