Creating a Lean Culture

Excellent companion book to the rest of your lean references. Getting at making lean habits and growing cultures at each level of the team and really understanding your work. I also have the previous version. This is similar in content but has improvements in terms of self study questions and a shift in focus to the other levels of leadership and their role/expectations and how to manage up/down.

How the information is communicated to those who take the LEAD.

I had the second edition brown cover book. I thought it was great. Maybe it's nostalgia, but the new version seems different.

Great book that gives a great amount of information on lean implementation. Having a manager who used some Lean principles, I became interested in Lean. Through reading this book, I not only understood the Lean principles we had in place in my workplace, but also discovered our many shortcomings and how to overcome them.

This is a text book for getting Lean off the ground. Instruction is given for changes needed at all levels of the organization. Lean isn't something to be imposed on operators while managers continue to get production status reports in an office on a computer screen. While much about Gemba walking teaches to "go and see," Mann provides rating criteria that help the team learn what to look at/for. Then, keep it in arm's reach. Every time I re-read this, I see something new or in a new way.Not a fan of the Kindle edition as the TOC doesn't link to chapters and appendices. Get the paper copy and tape flags.

For me, this book is the definitive guide for creating a lean culture. It is easy to read, has great examples and it straight forward to implement. I have read it twice and given copies to several colleagues who agree.

Great book. Really helps to understand the discipline necessary to maintain lean.

Its a hard read, but some may find it beneficial. I'm in procurement, not MFG, so it wasnt as useful to me. It was required reading for me, at work.

Bought these are part of a training course, a book was given to each student as part of the study. Great introduction to Lean processes

Alot of industrial production examples, book can get difficult to follow, so reading 2 or 3 times is necessary to extract its true value 👍

This book is THE global standard for manufacturers facing the need compete and win in the global market place and know they have much work to do with their leaders and managers It has been a missing piece in manufacturing leadership - and David's 'how-to' approach to understanding Leader Standard Work is the best I have seen for anyone wanting to achieve success applying Lean thinking. David's years of practical experience in Steelcase and in so many other manufacturing and healthcare companies makes this book real; practical; and applicable. It is being applied now in any environment where people must come together effectively and achieve results.

Ce livre est articulé autour des 4 éléments principaux du Lean management : le standard de travail des leaders, les contrôles visuels, le processus de responsabilisation quotidienne et la discipline des leaders. De nombreux exemples illustrent le propos et font le lien avec la production Lean. J'ai bien aimé la description détaillée du processus de responsabilisation quotidienne, ce que l'on appelle en français les AIC (animation implicative courte) et la supervision active. La seconde partie porte sur l'apprentissage du Lean management et production, comment conduire une opération Lean, les comportements de l'encadrement, les mesures des résultats... Ce livre est complet et concret. A faire lire à tous l'encadrement et aux responsables production.Le seul bémol est que ce livre n'est pas traduit en français.Il mérite largement 5 étoiles.

Das absolut beste Buch ueber dieses Thema das ich bis jetzt gelesen habe. Ein absolutes Muss fuer alle, die sich mit diesem Thema ernsthaft beschaeftigen!
