I purchased this pocket toolbook knowing it wouldn't be a comprehensive book discussing the theories, principles, and background of Lean principles. I have taken numerous Master and Doctorate level courses related to Production and Manufacturing, so I have an understanding of DMAIC and lean six sigma. I only wanted the pocket guide for selecting the right tools to achieve the tollgate deliverables for projects at work, and as a quick reference (Cliff Notes so to speak) for each of the tollgates.
As a result, I feel this book succeeds as being a pocket guide. It isn't a full textbook but it is detailed enough to get the job done. The various tools featured in the book (value added analysis, fishbone diagram, Pareto charts, etc... are valuable as they are presented in a high-level format to guide you towards the tollgate deliverables.
Overall: 5/5 stars, should be sitting on your shelf if you work with LSS projects at work.
The book itself is reasonably organized, although I keep feeling as though there was insufficient background and "flow." It is truly more of a reference than a text, in that you have to comprehend the material almost all at once, rather than being taught in a logical progression. Because it really is just a reference, it's even more crucial to be able to REFER to the list, definition, etc. on a certain PAGE in the book.
I loathe paper books, since I have to carry many books with me at all times. But I cannot understand how reference books can be Kindle-published without usable page numbers.
