Logische Analytikhilfe von Produktionsprozessen - Der Aufbau dieses Buches, die Einführung und Vertiefung des Kaizen-Gedankens sowie die zahlreichen Fallbeispiele ergeben ein Standardwerk für alle, die in einen Qualitätssicherungsprozess eingebunden sind. Die ISO 9000 - Reihen sind meiner Meinung nach eine Folge dieses Denkens, so daß dieses Werk in jedem zertifizierten Betrieb vorhanden sein sollte.
Not much new information when you have read Kaizen already - The book Gemba-Kaizen is somewhat disappointing if you have read the book Kaizen already. It gives not much new information. The only new idea in the book is the attention given to the Gemba , the place where the processes are performed. Imai is right to stress the importance of the Gemba for operational excellence and he gives some nice tools and examples to illustrate the Gemba s importance. However, only one nice idea is somewhat poor to fill a whole book. The major message of the book can be told just as well in an articel of no more then 4 pages.
Praxisoriemtiertes Buch mit neuen Ideen - Das Buch liefert einen aufschlußreichen Informationsrahmen, der auch in vielen Teilen in die tägliche Arbeit einfließen kann. Der Inhalt ist nicht nur für große Firmen geeigent. Man kann auch für sich selbst gute Ideen sammeln, um sich besser zu organisieren.
Excellent theory - how to implement? - Masaaki San, Congratulations ! There are a good dozen of Books covering the Lean Principles and/or the Toyota Manufacturing Principle- however, there is only one Masaaki San. In the past, this Gentlemen has brought the Idea of Kai-Zen to the western world. Simply a great Book. If one wants to be successful with the implementation, then he/she needs a Consultant no matter if internal and/or external sources.
Same Message New Buzzwords - After reading Lean Thinking, The Goal and a few other books on manufacturing, I picked up this book based on the Amazon recommendation. I am sorry to say that the book was disappointing since it spoke of concepts that are well known. JIT, Kanban, Lean Manufacturing. Just like the hundreds of books on these concepts, this is a mere extension of the same concept and nothing in this book is different. I am used to reading both management and extremely technical books, but this one just could not hold my interest.
