All the theory of Lean in one book - Rated
John Bicheno has pulled together all the information on Lean together in this wonderful reference book. He gives all references and sources for further reading.
As of the 2004 edition I noticed some minor typos in the edition, but this should not stop you from buying what is likely to become a definitive Lean reference book for Lean practioners.
Case Study photographs of practical application of some of the techniques would only add to the value of a future edition.
Not a Toolbox but a Treasure Chest - Rated
The New Lean Toolbox is a great compilation and summary of all the lean approaches being deployed today. Bicheno ties together all these approaches in a framework that elevates the readers understanding of how lean works as an interlocking system of techniques not as isolated tools. It is a excellent companion and guide to the world of lean and it will lead to rich sources of deeper learning on its vast subject matter. It is a veritable lean in short hand book that is the best possible thesaurus /codex for any lean practitioner or novice alike.
THE NEW LEAN TOOLBOX - Rated
An excellent book. Very concise in explanations yet easy to understand. Well worth buying as a reference book that can help you explain to others what the tools are all about and jog your memory if you need to find a specific tool.
Takes Lean to new level - Rated
The "New" Lean Toolbox means just that this is not just an updated versionof the previous Lean toolbox but a different way to approach what is ineffect the Best Current Method of production. Whilst the book does provide the same level of detail as the previous LeanToolbox, ie a good description of individual techiques and conceptsfollowed by references for the reader to further discover. The thoughtbehind the book is much more holistic in approach. Namely the book postulates the combination of Theory of Constraints, Leanand Six Sigma and urges the reader to consider their production systemssolely with respect to customer wants and needs, using whatever tool orapproach is appropriate, even increasing WIP! Another excellent book by Bicheno, this one will be well thumbed by manyproduction personnel. At least until his next one is published.
