Informative and concise August 10, 2008
Nicholas Yax (Big Rapids, MI USA)
This book is required for two of the courses in my Manufacturing Engineering program. It was not what I expected, but was written in a short story like format, which made it a much easier read. Not a definitive guide, but gets across several key points in an easy to understand format. Recommended for anyone with a casual interest in the subject, but not for someone looking for an in-depth look. Only takes about 90 minutes to read through, but to really pick everything up may take 2 or 3 reads.

 Falls short of being World Class October 20, 2007
Michael Brown (FL)
This is a book that is being passed around work. A very simplistic book an introductory look at 2 different ways of looking at and doing a manufacturing process. I don't know if I would recomend this book except if you wanted a quick and fast look at the two different ways. The major draw back is that it doesn't look at the problem areas of the other way. Basically the "American" way and the "Japanese" way of manufacturing.
I guess I expected more after reading all the glowing reviews in the front of the book. It is an ok book but not great.

Another book fawning all over Toyota and the Japanese as being the absolute masters of production. No one but them can possibly produce anything properly. Oh, wait, did this book mention that it was AMERICANS who showed the Japanese modern production methods immediately after WWII? By golly, they left out that little detail.. you probably don't hear that too much, but look it up if you don't believe me. For all of the 1950's and most of the 1960's, "Made in Japan" was not a good thing to see on a product. Only in the past 30 years have they gotten good. I won't deny that American companies have gotten sloppy, and they need a cold hard slap to wake them up. But, I think that some of these books go a little overboard heaping praise on Japanese methods.
