Review: Great overview, and great drive for the experienced - As an experienced lean practitioner, I recently stumbled across this at the recommendation of a new colleague. It's one of the best, most practical, most executable lean books I've ever read. While other books spend most of their time talking about how Toyota, or Wiremold, or some other company have executed lean, this book focuses entirely on the practical side of creating a lean culture at YOUR organization, from a very basic level. Pros: - Practical approaches outlined that won't cost huge investments in money or IT - but getting people to change the way things are done - Relies heavily on several keys: visual management, daily accountability, standard work, and leader standard work. These are easy to say, but very difficult to drive - Prefers the low-tech way of driving the lean culture - which seems to improve sustainability - Focuses on both the leader of the plant AND the kaizen office/engagement office. Seems most books are written toward one or the other Cons: - It's a bit short. I would have loved more, but I'm not sure if there would have been much value in adding more. It's a lean book - but I liked it that much that I wanted to see more. - Not for the beginner - if you need 6S or flow explained to you, find another book. This is about taking those discrete tools and forming them into a culture of lean improvement - not a con, so much, as a heads up for people just getting started. Overall, I can't say enough good things about this book. It has been eye-opening in some ways, and heavily reinforced some of my previous thoughts in others. I look forward to implementing its recommendations going forward.
Review: Use, value & apply - it works... - We have chosen a short line up of titles to use in our own way of continuous improvement.

David has provided a simple set of principles & assessment process that helps us Check Adjust, as well as teach leaders how to sustain management systems which they build.
