This is the first book I read on Lean thinking. The book was very good since it spoke about concepts that are well known. The R's the S's of lean, muda, gemba and other lean principles. The book taught me, and gave me details on terms and concepts that I had heard about but never knew in detail. This is the book that got me to think about Lean Principles. Excellent book for a person new to Lean Thinking.

The New Lean Toolbox is a great compilation and summary of all the lean approaches being deployed today. Bicheno ties together all these approaches in a framework that elevates the readers understanding of how lean works as an interlocking system of techniques not as isolated tools. It is a excellent companion and guide to the world of lean and it will lead to rich sources of deeper learning on its vast subject matter. It is a veritable lean in short hand book that is the best possible thesaurus /codex for any lean practitioner or novice alike.

not for those unfamiliar with lean
The "Toolbox" contains some thought provoking comments, overall I found it not very well written and would not recommend it as a "guide" to someone new to Lean. Read more
