4.0 out of 5 stars Lean Principles and Philosophy, 27 Aug 2006
By Mr. Ross Maynard (Glasgow, Scotland) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This books explores the 12 philosophies of lean management as seen in the Toyota Production System. It is not a "how to" book - there are no methodologies for lean tools; rather the book explores lean principles and concepts in considerable detail (400 + pages) and how they can be applied in practice. To my mind the best elements of the book are the sections on problem solving and implementing lean. As a whole the book suffers from a dense style that makes it heavy going at times. The book also suffers from some gaps - insufficient space is given to how to achieve "flow" in an organisation with very variable demand. In addition, the book mentions the use of temporary staff to manage demand peaks but says nothing about how these people are recruited, trained, managed and involved in lean. The feeling is left that these are the "cannon fodder" of lean.

Overall this is probably essential reading for anyone involved in lean - but be ready for heavy going !.

5.0 out of 5 stars Why this is a book for lean thinkers, 13 Dec 2005
By A Customer
Whilst the book will be seen as using in simple examples for lean practitioners. I suggest that it is a must read for those who are less familiar or just starting their lean journey.
I have been implementing lean across Europe for a number of years and reccommend this book to all who have an interest in improving their business

5.0 out of 5 stars Highly recommended to understand lean principles., 19 Jun 2009
By Jose Costas Gual "Hansei san" (Spain) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
There are some books that are special. They make a real impact in your reflection. This is one! Well organized in the sequence to go through the 4 principles of Toyota Way. Easy to read. Facilitates comprehension and reflection on each lesson learned.
The authors have done an outstanding job to help general public, and specially business leaders and people working on the continuous improvement spirit, to learn not focusing on the tools - you always have guides and other materials to learn about each tool - but focusing on the SYSTEMIC vision of the lean paradigm.
