A book that distinguishes itself from the others!, 2007-09-20
The New Lean Pocket Guide XL is a great addition to our training materials. This larger size, new topics on Lean Office and Six Sigma, and most importantly, the numerous digital photos makes this book a benchmark in the industry. We distribute these in all our training sessions. We even discuss the photos and have found ideas for improvements just by looking at them. It's nice to have a book that is this concise, does not clutter information up with case studies (as everyone has one), and has those photo examples upon which to "see" and then "do". A book that does distinguishes itself from the others!

Great pocket guide on Lean, 2007-08-12
I like the format of this handbook and it is definitely easy to use, it gives simple explanations on the concepts and tools of Lean. I would definitely purchase copies for my process improvement team. I would also use it to teach lean concepts in my company.

 A Good Collection of Lean Tools, 2007-01-17
This book is a handy collection of all the lean tools you can think of. Each tool is described clearly and simply in a couple of pages with a step by step guide for implementation. You probably need to have a background understanding of lean and its principles to use book but it is a handy reference of all the tools. It lacks overview material on the history and philosophy of lean, and it would be useful to have a clearer description of how to fit the tools together (perhaps some flow charts of what to use when etc). In summary then, great description of lean tools; lacks the background on lean and how to deploy it as a philosophy.

Going Beyond Typical Lean Materials, 2006-09-07
I have purchased nearly every Lean book that has been published over the past 10 years, including The Lean Pocket Guide (MCS Media, Inc.) and found this book to be the best value on the market from current materials available. I like the larger print (in the 5" by 7" format), the new topics that were included, but most significantly, the actual photos of Lean manufacturing practices. The photos that were included have assisted our continuous improvement teams already. Seeing the picture of the Heijunka board for planning on page 26 allowed us to modify our entire shop floor scheduling visual system to emulate something similar to what this displayed. Many other photos that were included also are giving us great ideas for future kaizen events. Great addition to the world of Lean books! Lean Lean Trainer, Sycor Manufacturing, Inc.

The Best Lean Book Out There, 2006-08-30
I had purchased The Lean Pocket Guide over a year ago and recently purchased The New Lean Pocket Guide XL. Both are superb Lean references. What I do like about the XL version, including the new chapers on Lean Office, Six Sigma, is the Glossary of Lean Terms and the Waste Audit. But most of all what I found most beneficial were the actual photos placed throughout demonstrating many of the Lean tools. Many books just offer illustrations, The New Lean Pocket Guide XL shows Lean in action in various manufacturing operations. The book does it for me. I will be purchasing these for all my managers and supervisors (the associates already have The Lean Pocket Guide). An excellent enhancement of an already great book!
