Editorial Review: Product Description: When John Shook worked at Toyota he noticed that the senior experts on the Toyota Production System often drew simple maps when on the shop floor. These maps showed the current physical flow of a product family and the information flow for that product family as they wound through a complex facility making many products. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Great text for learning VSMI teach value stream mapping as part of an overall masters level operations management class. I use this text as the primary document on VSM. It's an excellent text that one can learn the basics from. The text would be further enhanced if it included an enclosed DVD/video (or access to such via the web) that further explained the content with examples. I believe a 1 hour (maybe less) video would significantly enhance the learning of the material, with very little increase in unit cost. Rating:  - The Best Value Stream Instruction Book ever written...This is THE VSM book for people wanting to learn Value-stream mapping. Although it is a bit expensive, it is well worth it.

Also it relies on SMED and Continuous flow manufacturing and KANBAN, so if you're not familiar with that, you will need to do some reading on those topics as well. Basically this book gives you a technique how do draw you current value stream with all the ... Read More Rating: - So you want to learn how to map the value stream?This is definitely THE starter book to learn vsm. Yes more examples would help, and yes so much information is covered by such little prose. The more I learn and practice lean, The more I am convinced of the importance in using value stream mapping to insure that the lean implementation process benefits the value stream (the so called critical path of the production process). This key concept is where Six Sigma fails, and that is how do you select a Six Sigma Project that is going to impact the ... Read More Rating: - Customer ReviewThis book is written just like a book on lean manufacturing should be: short, to the point, and no crap. It's very informative, easy to read, a no academic wishy-washy stuff. A great buy! Browse for similar items by category:
