Book Reviews of The Machine That Changed the World : The Story of Lean Production
Book Review: Must Read to Understand How Lean Production Really Works
Summary: 5 Stars
This book kept my interest. The lean production concept used in Japan automakers was clearly demonstrated as a superior way to American mass production. I can see how lean production can be transferred to other industries than auto manufacturing. The book also contained the history behind mass production and lean production, which was interesting. The insight into automakers in Japan, America, and Europe was also very enlightening.
