5.0 out of 5 stars
Well written and well researched,
By Stephen Parry "Author of Sense and Respond" (Lean Service Transformation Designer London) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Lean Enterprise Value: Insights from MIT's Lean Aerospace Initiative (Hardcover)
I enjoyed reading this, it provides practical advice about the application of lean ideas into the aerospace industry. I also found the framework which compares lean to other change methods such as Six Sigma etc. very useful.
It outlines how to create a lean enterprise even in highly complex production environments. The ideas can also be used in other industries with great effect. Its well written and researched.

Opening the mind,
By
This review is from: Lean Enterprise Value: Insights from MIT's Lean Aerospace Initiative (Hardcover)
This value of this book is the ability to open the mind to who wants to move from a product excellence-based company to a total product lifecycle value-based company; do not expect any magic receipe but only good principles, guidelines, examples and high-level methodologies. Execution is the real challance, to be done not in a one-shot approach but gradually.
Top management of most companies should read it.

Inspirational examples of applied lean philosophy,
By
This review is from: Lean Enterprise Value: Insights from MIT's Lean Aerospace Initiative (Hardcover)
Today we all witness the rapid changes of market trends and customer demands. Unfortunately too many companies set their vision long time ago in different circumstances and seem unable to adapt to current situation.
The book introduces the concepts of value stream, total quality control and other lean principles that enable the company to focus on value delivery to all stakeholders and quickly adapt the production processes to current market trends. There are a number of inspirational examples from aerospace industry that enabled companies to eliminate waste and increase product value by implementing lean concepts which can be applied in other industries as well. Definitely a great introduction to lean philosophy for anyone interested in company strategy and process management.
