3.0 out of 5 stars Worth Reading But Keep in Perspective, November 11, 2006
By Rocket Man (Temecula, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This is definitely worth reading, but there is very little in the way of new ideas. These are the musings of an experienced, worldly individual but they are one man's insights. Worth keeping in perspective along with the views of other authors. Tends to be repetitive.

4.0 out of 5 stars Pinto Prods Thinking, December 31, 2005
This book is a collection of essays, some of which I had seen before. Jim and I bounce ideas back and forth monthly in preparation for columns he sends to Automation World magazine. It's interesting to see his thoughts come together. The contents of this book are wide ranging but reflect his passion for good manufacturing and good business practices. I consider it a good read for the beginning of my own thought processes. Jim tries to prod readers into thinking about what they are doing and where their companies (and their careers) are going. Read it and get stirred up about manufacturing and what you are going to do to improve things.
