Product Description

2006 SHINGO PRIZE WINNER for EXCELLENCE in MANUFACTURING RESEARCH

Lean Production Simplified, 2nd Edition is a plain language guide to the lean production system written for the practitioner by a practitioner. It delivers a comprehensive insider's view of lean manufacturing. The author helps the reader to grasp the system as a whole and the factors that animate it by organizing the book around an image of a house of lean production.

Highlights include:

  • A comprehensive view of Toyota s lean manufacturing system
  • A look at the origins and underlying principles of lean
  • Identifying the goals of lean production
  • Practical problem solving for lean production
  • Activities that support involvement - Kaizen circles, suggestion systems, and problem solving

    • This 2nd Edition has been updated with expanded information on the Lean Improvement Process; Production Physics and Little's Law - the fundamental equation for both manufacturing and service industries (cycle time = work in process/throughput); Value Stream Thinking - combining processes required to bring the product or service to the customer; Hoshin Planning -- using the Planning and Execution Tree diagram and Problem Solving -- including the "Five Why" method and how to use it.

    Lean Production Simplified, 2nd Edition covers each of the components of lean within the context of the entire lean production system. The author's straightforward common sense approach makes this book an easily accessible on-the-floor resource for every operator.

    5 out of 5 stars Best Lean Book for Breadth of Knowledge   August 27, 2008
    Kate and Mike (Madbury, NH)
    I've read many of the more popular lean books (see our other reviews), and have been doing lean full-time since 2000. In my view this book has the best, most complete field of view of them all, touching on several concepts that get no attention in any other lean overview text. It should be noted that as far a depth goes however, the name says it all... Lean Production Simplified.

    Pro:
    -Shingo prize winner
    -Brief yet complete coverage of lean topics
    -Coverage of several topics not found elsewhere, including the much ignored hoshin kanri
    -Decent chapter summaries, ample examples and figures

    Con:
    -I guess about the worst you can say is there's too many misspellings for a 2nd edition.
    -Perhaps too many sentences that start with, "At Toyota" which create some repetitive reading.

    Bottom line: Highly recommended for exposure to the basics.


    5 out of 5 stars Good Overview   June 2, 2008
    E. Thompson
    I thought this book did a good job in giving you an overview of the lean tools. It is a good reference point if you would like to further study lean activities.


    5 out of 5 stars A great practical guide   March 29, 2008
    Paul Babin (Memphis, TN USA)
    Lean Production Simplified provides a great practical guide to the implementation of lean principles. The author gives enough history and background of lean production to put the concepts into context. He then covers all the basic concepts with a unified approach. We are using this book to orient several new team members to the concepts as we implement important lean projects.

    This book explains lean manufacturing in the TPS (Toyota Production System) method. The sentences tend to be short and choppy, but if you have a basic understanding of lean this book can enrich knowledge and provide specific examples.


    5 out of 5 stars Excellent overview of lean   January 27, 2008
    Mr. Ross Maynard (Glasgow, Scotland)
    "Lean Production Simplified" is essential reading for anyone new to lean. With a wonderfully clear writing style Pascal Dennis gives an overview of the structure and tools of lean including an excellent short history. Dennis clearly explains the concepts and philosophy of lean - though this is not a "how-to" book and does not give detailed methods for the tools. The book is an excellent introduction to lean. For example, I found its 20 pages on Hoshin planning explained the process better than any other work I've read.

    You can tell when an author really understands the lean process - they emphasise the importance of behavioural and cultural aspects of lean and recognise that these are at least as important as the tools. Dennis's chapters on involvement and lean culture are excellent. He clearly lives the lean philosophy. "Lean Production Simplified" is essential reading for anyone wishing to understand lean.
