霍克曼总结道（第426页）。“本书更真实的目的是通过诋毁几乎所有现有的质量技术来促进谢宁的咨询业务，”霍克曼在前面说，“并提供一个工具的简要概述，这些工具可以在足够少的细节中提供帮助，以保证雇用谢宁的必要性”（第425页）。在这些网页上的批评从来没有任何更尖锐或谴责。与评论者的残酷对待形成对比的是作者对1E成功的陈述。作者在序言中宣称：“这本书已售出10万册，被翻译成四种欧洲语言，并在几个城市登上了最畅销的商业书籍排行榜。”随着上述多里安·谢宁的去世，这里的作者似乎只是在推销自己。他们指出：“导师是公司成功的重要因素。”“在介绍性研讨会之后，作者向100多家公司提供了这种指导和实践帮助”（序言，第xx页）。在积极的一面，这第二版（2 E）是“更多的例子解决问题。”在实用性上更值得怀疑的是“一个总结相关技术的章节”，这是QFD和一大堆对我来说是新的助记符，包括TPM、NOAC和VE。作者进一步声称“开发了额外的DOE技术”和“一种名为多环境过度压力测试（MEOST）的技术，在可靠性方面取得了突破”。有人可能会认为作者会试图将他们的工具与六西格玛的流行联系起来。恰恰相反，作者声称六西格玛收益是通过“创造性会计”来实现的（第13页）。这位资深作者，前摩托罗拉员工，声称他的“终极六西格玛"已经成为一些开明公司的圣经。使用这本书在你自己的风险。这是一个多一点极端。
Hockman concluded (p. 426). “A more truthful statement of purpose served by this book: : : is to promote Shainin’s consulting business by discrediting just about all existing quality technologies,” Hockman stated earlier, “and to provide a brief overview of tools that can be helpful in suf ciently sparse detail to warrant the need to hire Shainin” (p. 425). Criticism in these pages has never been any more pointed or damning. Contrasting to the brutal treatment from the reviewer is the statement that the authors make about the success of the 1E. “The book has sold more than 100,000 copies, has been translated into four European languages, and has made the list of best-selling business books in a few cities,” the authors proclaim in the Preface (p. xx). With the aforementioned Dorian Shainin now deceased, the authors here appear just to be promoting themselves. “A mentor is an important factor in a company’s success,” they note. “The authors have provided this coaching, this hands-on help to more than 100 companies, following introductory seminars” (Preface, p. xx). On the positive side for this second edition (2E) are “more examples of problem solving.” More questionable in utility is “a chapter that summarizes related techniques,” which are QFD and a whole bunch of mnemonics new to me, including TPM, NOAC, and VE. The authors further claim to “have developed additional DOE techniques” and “a technique called Multiple Environment Over Stress Testing (MEOST), that achieves a breakthrough in reliability.” One might think that the authors would try to connect their tools to the popularity of Six Sigma. Quite the opposite, the authors claim that Six Sigma gains are accomplished with “creative accounting” (p. 13). The senior author, a former Motorola employee, claims his “ultimate Six Sigma: : : has already become the bible in a few enlightened companies.” Use this book at your own risk. It is more than a little extreme.
