2.0 out of 5 stars Key Strategies for Plant Improvement
Very little new info. Other books also keep repeating same thing.
TPS From an Industrial Eng' Viewpoint and SMED are the only two Shingo books needed.
Everything else is repetition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent thought provoking book!, April 1, 1999

This review is from: The Sayings of Shigeo Shingo: Key Strategies for Plant Improvement (Japanese Management Series) (Hardcover)
Shigeo Shingo is truly one of the most under rated quality gurus out there. His methods and genius rank with Deming and Juran, but are much more easily applied. If you are interested in SMED, Constraint Management, Poka-Yoke or continuous improvement READ THIS BOOK

Update: 2/24/10. I just received Fundamentals Principles of Lean Manufacturing, by Shingo. It's a hard read due to the writing and labels Shingo placed on the lean tools, principles but, I think it's a very good book for the practitioner. Similar to OHNO's books; requires the student to do shop floor activity and capture their own learning. Then the book has more meaning and will help codify our own learning.
thanks to the publisher.
