    (verified owner):

    I ordered the book without reviewing the contents. I had some pessimism about its usefulness as many Lean Manufacturing books are philosophical in content.

    This book is pragmatically practical.

    Layout after layout contains insightful analysis. This book is a treasure for those of us creating manufacturing lines from scratch. His thoughts are clear, his advice timeless. Plus, the translation is quite readable.

    Highly recommended.
