Lean Manufacturing: A Plant Floor Guide Review: Excellent - Excellent conditions. It was not written down.I used without problem. The hard cover keep the book safe. s s s Review: A user looks at the guide after implementing Lean - This book is written in a lean manner. It is simple, common and easy to read. It describes ordinary things and ideas very clearly and with one purpose. This book provides all the roadmap, tools and insight needed to allow plants to achieve excellence. The authors take great pains to address common failures issues. They provide a single source handbook that any plant can understand and use, a source with example metrics and tools, with logic and simple ideas to prevent and overcome the daily issues faced by the team that implements Lean. This is not a book that deals much about soft issues. It is not a fuzzy warm feeling book about the people side, nor is it a motivational "you can do it" book. It is a frank easy to read book about simple steps and simple ideas that make plants great. It explains the people issues and the fact that unless working teams make the decisions and changes Lean will not happen. It is a long book, more of handbook length, but much easier to read. Lean Manufacturing: A Plant Floor Guide fills the space between a detailed "How To" text and an overview. It provides coverage of every key issue in moving to Lean Manufacturing, offering rationale, plans and encouragement.

Great book
From the opening pages, to the last, this book summed up how to take your plant and make it "lean." I have used the guidelines in the book at work and it has seemed to work seemlessly. The information was sound and true. If you are looking for a down to earth approach and a way to get it done, then get this book!
