Editorial Reviews

Review

"Kaizen for the Shopfloor answers a lot of questions that people often ask before, during, and after a kaizen event and ensures you have the right tools to follow up afterward. As a trainer, I would recommend that each employee read this book to fully understand the kaizen and lean manufacturing process."

This review is from: Kaizen for the Shopfloor Learning Package: Kaizen for the Shop Floor: A Zero-Waste Environment with Process Automation (Shopfloor Series) (Paperback)
I received a print out of a random book inside the Keizen cover book. The actual content of the Keizen was not there. It was just a prin out of something else....

4.0 out of 5 stars Kaizen Events, January 4, 2007

This review is from: Kaizen for the Shopfloor Learning Package: Kaizen for the Shop Floor: A Zero-Waste Environment with Process Automation (Shopfloor Series) (Paperback)
A great way to get up to speed on a single aspect of the Continuous Improvement movement. Fast-paced reading with all the need-to-know information in a simple, understandable format. The book could have been improved by a more compreshesive forward or introduction chapter that displayed the position of Kaizen Events in the total process map of CI.
