Best books to learn Lean and Six Sigma, in order

Lean and Six Sigma come from two traditions, and reading them in order clarifies both. Begin with the Lean idea of eliminating waste and respecting the people doing the work, then the Six Sigma DMAIC method for reducing variation, then the tools and case studies. A path keeps you from cargo-culting techniques, so you improve processes because you understand why they drift, not just because a belt curriculum told you to.
