5.0 out of 5 starsA truly comprehensive and practical book.
By J. A. Martin on December 20, 2004
Format: Spiral-bound
I am so impressed with this book! The author covers, in a logical and integrated way, eighteen practical and immediately deployable tips and tools for the cost reduction and value enhancement of any product. I particularly love the "Twenty-Cost-Lever" tradeoff tool; we are already using this to great advantage in my division. I was also impressed with the level of detail and the very readable, step by step directions for implementing the tools. The author clearly is an experienced practitioner and understands just what the reader needs to know to achieve success. I highly recommend this book!

1.0 out of 5 starsWaste of My Time
By Continuous Improvment Specialist on December 13, 2004
Format: Spiral-bound
I find the material to be a minimalized version of the true tools based in quality lean material. As a practicing continuous improvment specialist i expected more than I got in this trivial account of what should be considered a very important event in a corporate life cycle.

Designing products requires exceptional detail. Likewise I expect someone writing a book on the topic to provide exceptional tools and details. This book is superficial at best and points you in a direction, unfortunately it is the wrong direction.
