Average Customer Rating: 4 (6 reviews)

Rating: 3
Summary: Supplemental reading
Comment: Great theory, but lacks applicability. Recommended reading for those contemplating using Kaizen in the workplace. Needs to be balanced out by reading a How-to-do-it book, such as the "Kaizen Event Implementation Manual", which does help you actually conduct a perfect Kaizen event.

Rating: 3
Summary: Beginning Primer
Comment: This book is a fast read and a good introduction to Lean and the Kaizen Event. It covers all of the basics and enough detail to present a sound and solid beginning to anyone looking to understand Lean and Kaizen. If you are looking for solid meat beyond the basics, you need to go elsewhere. The book points you to other sources through out the text.

Rating: 4
Summary: The Kaizen Revolution
Comment: Mr. Regan presents an easy read in novel form (ala "The Goal" by Elyahu Goldratt) giving the reader a sound introduction to the Toyota Production System (aka Lean Manufacturing). Anyone reading this book can gain a sound understanding of what steps to take, and why to take them, as you begin on the Lean journey. You'll close the back cover with an understanding of many "Lean Concepts" as well as a very sound introduction to the how and why's of preparing for and conducting a Kaizen event. The chapter summaries are very beneficial in helping you capture the nuggets of knowledge that you can easily overlook as you become engrossed in the story. Don't let this book be your only source of knowledge on TPS, but be sure to include it in your reading.
