3.0 out of 5 stars Lean on Actual Content, July 5, 2007
This review is from: Lean Kaizen: A Simplified Approach to Process Improvements (Paperback)
For a $55 list price, you get 174 pages plus a CD-ROM with various "lean" forms and checklists. The actual content of the book frequently replicates itself, repeating key concepts and phrases word-for-word in many cases. What is "lean"? Apparently, it involves cleaning up your workstation. One photo (figure 6.21) shows a workbench area "before" lean (with aerosol cans, gloves, and wrenches strewn about), while the "after" picture shows a nice, clean workstation with the wrenches hung up. I learned this lesson when I was 6 years old--my mother told me to clean my room, or I'd get a spankin'. If you need a book to tell you this, I would recommend the Lean For Dummies (For Dummies) book instead, as it provides a much better and balanced overview of the "lean" phenomenom.
