Lean, Skinny, or Skimpy?, Jan 22 2006
By Lightman - Published on Amazon.com
Achat Amazon vérifié(Quest-ce que cest?)
Ce commentaire est de: The Lean Manufacturing Pocket Handbook (Paperback)
Skimpy.Kenneth Dailey has written a mini book that takes apart the deep production philosophy of lean and reduces it to a series of definitions, a grab bag of techniques, and an acronym soup.
It's hard to visualize how this can be useful for any serious seeker of improved manufacturing practice. Lean is a journey of production transformation from the inside out. The surface treatment afforded by this book suggests something quite different - the possibility of a quick fix that follows from being able to disentangle the meanings of Kanban, Poka Yoke, and Value Stream Mapping.
Some of the book's content is worse than unhelpful. For example, in talking about Kaizen, Dailey writes, "The team members themselves should implement the no-brainer and quick-turn changes". This dismissive assessment of the problem solving capability of workers will not foster the level of employee involvement on which any successful lean implementation ultimately must depend.
The book ends (page 40) with the author admitting, "You should consider the information inside this pocket handbook to be the baseline minimum". This certainly is not an understatement.
For those seeking a succinct overview of the essence of lean, I would recommend The Spirit of Manufacturing Excellence, by Ernest Huge.

Handy Reference, Perfect for Training Seminar, Jan 12 2007

If I had to give a 1-2 day seminar on the subject, this would be a handy handbook. For that purpose, it should be used, not as a general reference on lean manufacturing.If this review was helpful, please add your vote. Thanks.
