Book Reviews of Lean Thinking: Banish Waste and Create Wealth in Your Corporation

Book Review: A classic, must read
Summary: 5 Stars

I was fortunate enough to participate in the Pratt & Whitney lean transformation described in Lean Thinking.

While it is not a "how to" book, it does a good job of describing the lean initiatives undertaken.

This book is a classic "lean must read."
