Great insight and review on the spirit that we can all benefit from no matter our role in a company
Liked the explanation and reiteration of lean thinking principles to emphasize how to teach it to others. The fact that they go into detail on how to be on the other side of this knowledge helps to more effectively present it to new learners. This is critical spirit that we all can benefit from inheriting. Owner, President, CEO, Director, Frontline management, Frontline production, quality, sales, HR, coaching etc. We all can help it better ourselves thus the entirety of a company and community.

I recommend it!
This is a great book. It isn't joking about being "simplified." Chapters are short enough to grasp the concept and each chapter is very easy to follow. I have learned a lot about Lean from reading it.

Simple Guide to understand lean house in phiposophy and practice
It's just a simple guiding book for lean! It summarises all what you need to know about lean philosophy and application through well-explained lean house. The book explains in detail each element of the lean house including the philosophy behind each concept/tools and how & when to implement it in thorough description associated with real examples and templates. Although the title of the book sounds like a reference for lean beginners, I found it still valuable also for lean practitioners and experts. The book brings a lot of valued insights about lean principles and practices from Toyota where the book's author worked for years.

It does what it says on the tin
Easy to read and understand with only basic maths skills needed to understand the quantitative side of the book. Author explains in plain english and there is also a glossary of terms for easy reference. Well worth the investment and better than an on-line course on Lean which can cost you couple of hundred pounds.
