Lean Thinking, Second Edition: Banish Waste and Create Wealth in Your Corporation

Preferred this second book. Quality of book was excellent

Book was exactly as described

Lean Thinking is s foundational text for those looking to start or continue their Lean Six Sigma journey

This is a book I stayed up to 2am reading! It's a great subject that it both interesting and seems to be a game-changer for businesses. Most importantly its written in a style that is engaging and accessible to the reader which is not my experience with many "business" books.

Having read this book I thought I'd try the audio version and I was not disappointed. A thoroughly compelling listen and I was able to absord so much more than reading (Perhaps that's a personal thing for me). I have to agree that James Womack's tone is a little grainy but once you get past that then you should embark on an enjoyable learning experience. Great stuff.

The concept of pull manufacturing was well described and there were plenty of real world examples. Like all books of this nature though, it was extremely thorough, which made it a bit dull for the casual reader who doesn't work in manufacturing.

This is exactly what I needed for the MSC that I am study, the seller delivered the product before they said they would and it was really well packaged. It was sold as a second hand copy, but quite honestly it looked as though it had never been touched. I would recommend this seller to anyone.

I was using the book to get a better overview of Lean thinking while writing my master thesis and it became one of my best references.

O livro é completo, objetivo e transmite a informação de forma efetiva. É um recurso que todos que atuam com Lean deveriam ter.

Book as described and excellent condition

Il prodotto è arrivato in tempi brevi dagli USA, il prezzo è molto competitivo rispetto allo stesso prodotto nuovo, le condizioni sono quelle descritte dal venditore, per cui mi ritengo soddisfatto dell'ordine e del servizio offerto.

Lean Thinking is the second of the lean books from Womack and Jones. First was "the machine that changed the world", which changed my way of thinking. Lean Thinking picks up where "the machine" left and tries to abstract the learning from "the machine" into 5 values of lean. The 5 values are "Value, Value Stream, Pull, Flow and Perfection". By abstracting these values, Womack and Jones enable the lean manufactuing ideas to be used in different industries, which is exactly what happened. That makes this book a landmark book that maybe changed the world even more than their first book. The book itself is a nice and very very easy read. The authors get to the point, their explanation is clear and their stories made me enjoy the book very much. All in all, an excellent book and a absolute must read for anyone interested in lean, in whatever industry.

A great book! Very well written and explains the principles of lean in an easy to understand way.
