What attracted me to this book was my previous attraction to the efficiency of Toyota and the use of lean methods to improve processes throughout any organization. If you desire waste reduction, increased efficiency processes while improving staff and company moral, higher quality output than this is the book for you. These principles can be used in a personal setting as well as professional and still applies today.

282Mikado Your review is true if it is used effectively. Last year everyone in my department was required to do two green belts or 10 yellow belt projects for the year. 100 people, most of whom travel 60-80% as trainers or field service. There isn't that much improvement needed in our department nor do the people have the time. The projects that do get done usually cost more to document than they save the company. As a bonus to the company, morale tanked. (edited) 5y
