not enough technical content.. - By: , 19 Sep 2002
As a manufacturing management trainee I was expecting much, much more from this book. The preface gives the impression that the content is the definitive guide to implementing a lean manufacturing process in concert with six sigma quality - a very attractive proposition. However, there is actuallly very little referencable material on lean manufacturing & six sigma? In fact two thirds of the book appears to be devoted to management spiel, including the recruitment of black belts & so on - not reallly useful for anyone below the boardroom level. I was reallly expecting more quantified content that could provide real technical insight at a grass roots level - I didn't learn anything reallly applicable in that context (that I wasn't aware of already).

As an example, the preface states "you'll learn the secret to eliminating the time traps that add delays & hinder speed" - I was expecting juat a bit more than a handful of pages on this!
