Unfortunately this is not a very helpful bookOct 12, 2003
By Michael J Leahy
I had hoped that this would be an extension of Shigeo Shingo's "A Revolution in Manufacturing: The SMED System," but unfortunately it is not really helpful. The writing is convoluted. The translation could be better. I didn't find anything in this book that wasn't explained much more clearly in Shingo's book.
