Product Description
Review
"Kaizen for the Shopfloor answers a lot of questions that people often ask before, during, and after a kaizen event and ensures you have the right tools to follow up afterward. As a trainer, I would recommend that each employee read this book to fully understand the kaizen and lean manufacturing process."
Product Description

Kaizen events are opportunities to make focused changes in the workplace. Kaizen for the Shopfloor takes readers through the critical steps for conducting a very effective kaizen event: one that is well planned, well implemented, and well documented. As the newest addition to the Shingo Prize Winning Shopfloor Series, Kaizen for the Shopfloordistills the complexities of jumpstarting lean processes into an easily accessible format for those frontline employees who make lean possible.

Kaizen Events
4 Jan 2007
Format:Paperback
A great way to get up to speed on a single aspect of the Continuous Improvement movement. Fast-paced reading with all the need-to-know information in a simple, understandable format. The book could have been improved by a more compreshesive forward or introduction chapter that displayed the position of Kaizen Events in the total process map of CI.

Format:Paperback
It is a good book for someone who has not done a kaizen event or to review some techniques to do a kaizen.

Kaizen for the Shopfloor
29 Jan 2007
Format:Paperback
An abbreviated version of the REAL Kaizen book; Kaizen Event Implementation Manual. OK for a quick read, copies much of what's in the Kaizen Event Implementation Manual.
Something as important as doing and understanding Kaizen deserves the real thing, not this. Save your money.
