Be Lean - Do not waste your money on this title, April 5 2005
By Josef O. - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Lean Strategies for Product Development: Achieving Breakthrough Performance in Bringing Products to Market (Paperback)
This book does not even scratch the surface of Lean, not talking of Lean Product Development. It is a low quality, narrow-scope collection of everyday knowledge. Read any other work on Product Development or Process Optimization to learn more than what is offered here.

Don't bother, Aug 30 2005
By Stephen B. Offiler - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Lean Strategies for Product Development: Achieving Breakthrough Performance in Bringing Products to Market (Paperback)
Don't waste your time or money on this lightweight. I would never have finished it except it's the only thing I brought with me on the plane. It made the Skymall magazine look pretty good! So-called product development "concepts" introduced (modular design, platform design, custom design) are nothing more than common sense and already in practice widely. The book goes on to describe a needlessly complex system of databases with names like "technical requirements flow-down matrix", "product experience domain", and "component design compliance matrix". This isn't Lean at all. This is creation of muda - wasted effort. And the story-telling approach which unfolds as a conversation between two engineers is literally painful to read. It sounds nothing like any natural conversation I've ever heard. It's thin, it's light, it's cheap, and it's worthless. Stay away.

Entertaining and Compelling: Breaking New Ground with Lean, May 3 2005
By D. Randall - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Lean Strategies for Product Development: Achieving Breakthrough Performance in Bringing Products to Market (Paperback)
What a great read! Fiore's Lean Strategies for Product Development provides excellent insight regarding the application of lean concepts in product development. Recognizing that product knowledge and information is the backbone of the development process, Fiore introduces three design strategies (modular, platform, and custom) that utilize product knowledge and information that will enable company's to reduce product development cycle time and cost. The strategies are supported by different tools that are introduced explained throughout the book.In addition, the book demonstrates the role that software tools play enabling product development practitioners to efficiently and effectively find product knowledge and information that is need to support the development process. Finally, the book also demonstrates how product knowledge can be leveraged to integrate supply chain activities for selecting suppliers and reducing part procurement cost.
The concepts introduced throughout the book are weaved into a story between a customer and supplier. Not only was this an effective way to introduce the material, but it was also a very enjoyable and easy read. If you liked "The Goal" - you'll like this book. Everyone reading this book will come away with an understanding of how to apply lean in product development!
