Great Refresher on Lean Tools

Although my former company did not have a formal Lean Six Sigma program in place, we received many hours of training on lean tools for continuous improvement. I kept a copy of this book in my office to reference as needed. The authors do an excellent job in defining lean tool methodologies.

A Concise Reference Book for Quick Review

It is a handy reference book that packed with tools and key points. In view of its approach and its size, I would say it reasonably include the information. Yet, if would be better (a) if its size be reduced in view of its contents; or (b) expand the contents a little more for giving more...
