Kanban for the Shopfloor (The Shopfloor Series)

Great book!! Easy to read. And very useful to implement Kanban.

This book is meant as a primer. For those who are participating, not leading. With that in mind, this book is great for helping shop floor personnel gain an understanding of the subject matter.

I will search for a heavyweight Kanban to study. I have seen the surface and need to drill down till the end of another fat book

This book is ideal for those wishing to gain a basic understanding of the use of Kanban in a self directed learning situation but also useful for use by workplace trainers in one-to one or small group training or coaching activities in the workplace.

A lot of poorly stated items, and incorrect information. This is another awful book on another item within Toyota's business system methodology. No wonder there are so many confused, frustrated, uninformed people out there on these topics.

Taiichi Ohno believed that kanban (with quick changeovers) was the key to success in the Toyota Production System that he developed. "Kanban for the Shopfloor" provides an understandable overview of the use of kanban in lean production. Straightforward and concise, it is a good book for staff at all levels - from shopfloor workers to executives too busy to read more involved books (nevertheless "Lean Production Simplified" may serve better as an easy overview of the whole lean concept). Like the other books in the series this is a good starter text for getting to grips with kanban. It's too basic for experienced lean practitioners though.
