 Real Solutions for our SuppliersAug 06, 2005
By Dorothy from Ann Arbor
The book, BackStreet Lean, we purchased for all our suppliers to allow them to see Lean tools and concepts in actual plant situations. John Macchia, Sr. and the Jackson,MI companies that shared their best practices are an inspiration to all of manufacturing. Our suppliers now are beginning to see Lean can work in a small shop!

Very helpful for meAug 26, 2005

"Dale"
BackStreet Lean gave me a total perspective on what can be done in a small shop relative to Lean practices and concepts. The actual photos and examples from these job shops helped us greatly in our Lean initiatives. This workbook did not try and lecture me, but more importantly provided me with real tools and examples from those who have done it. Thanks for sharing authors!

A SMALL SHOP MUST!May 29, 2005
By S. rodriguez
"Small shop owner"
BackStreet Lean will provide insight for any small shop on how Lean can work for them. The beauty of this book is the following: it provides detailed steps on how to implement the most appropriate Lean tool, it includes the human side of dealing with people and change, it provides real photos of Lean in action relative to the job shop, and it provides useful forms to get started. John Macchia, Sr. and his company is an inspiration to all small shops and I personally would like to thank him for sharing his best practices. It is realized that other small shops contributed photos to this world-class book. I recommend this to any shop owner, plant manager, or supervisor who requires real tools, real practices, and real solutions. A must buy!

See how Lean works in a small shop!May 06, 2005
By Roger J. Kremer
As the general manager of a machine and tool shop we found BackStreet Lean an invaluable tool and reference. It provided us with the how to steps, as well as providing real examples, from which we improved our productivity. Lean is not easy for small shops, so I highly recommend this for any person who needs to reduce costs and improve throughput in a non-repetitive or small shop environment.
