Book Reviews of Lean Thinking: Banish Waste and Create Wealth in Your Corporation
Book Review: Lean principles & theory... this is not a guide or handbook
Summary: 4 Stars
This book is a very good introduction to "lean manufacturing". I would say it is aimed at managers or other interested people in implementing lean manufacturing in their organizations. It is a perfect book to gain adepts for the lean cause, so if you are finding resistance in your organization to implement it, you could give out some copies of this book.
This book is more a general reading book (basics & benefits, resistance you might encounter, etc.) than a deep study or detailed guide. If you need deeper knowledge of the different tools, more specific applications or more detail on how to apply them, you will require other literature.
Another introduction to the subject is a novel called "The gold mine" (by Freddy and Michael Balle), both books address the topic highlighting different key aspects of lean, so reading both gives you probably a broader perspective. The gold mine goes a little deeper into the subjects and its emphasis on key concepts is very appealing.
