Kaizen for the Shopfloor  2007-01-30
An abbreviated version of the REAL Kaizen book; Kaizen Event Implementation Manual. OK for a quick read, copies much of what's in the Kaizen Event Implementation Manual.
Something as important as doing and understanding Kaizen deserves the real thing, not this. Save your money.
Kaizen Events 2007-01-04
A great way to get up to speed on a single aspect of the Continuous Improvement movement. Fast-paced reading with all the need-to-know information in a simple, understandable format. The book could have been improved by a more compreshesive forward or introduction chapter that displayed the position of Kaizen Events in the total process map of CI.
kaizen review 2006-11-10
It is a good book for someone who has not done a kaizen event or to review some techniques to do a kaizen.
A KAIZEN book for everyone  2006-07-31
