We live in a complex world. People and organizations often don’t believe they have the time to perform the in-depth analyses required to solve problems. Instead, they take remedial actions to make the problem less visible and implement a patchwork of ad hoc solutions they hope will prevent recurrence.

Many of the examples will involve situations with which the reader will likely be familiar. The focus of the book not on statistics but instead on the logic of finding causes.

Not a long book. Covers all parts of RCA superficially viz DMAIC but all chapters except Chpt.8 (Identify and Select Solutions) were uneventful. Sometimes its not the content of the book but the parallel triggers it sets off in your head that is more valuable, that was my purpose to read this book. Anyways there were some tools introduced that I was not aware of, like Barrier analysis, triz and simpler ones like is/is not table, six hats and payoff matrix which I really liked.

Had links to some great blogs - like aplomet.com, apqc.org & triz-journal.com. In conclusion, not too bad, not too good, mediocre.
