A Solution That WorksMar 19, 2005
By Bruce A. Yates
Lean Design Solution is in itself a masterpiece in simplicity. You are walked through the basics of great innovative design in a step-by-step process. In over 25 years in the aviation industry I have never seen a book that does this so well.
You wont find any "fuzzy" abstractions in the book. The author provides an easy-to-understand, common sense techniques and, most importantly, useful tools that a project team can implement immediately.
Mr. Huthwaite's vast experience as a coach of design teams clearly comes through. This book is "hands-on" in every sense fo the words.
I beleive this is a must read for project leaders and team members alike.

Very instructionalMar 18, 2005
By Andrew Rynberg
"Networking Design"
The Lean Design Solution not only gives great insight into the the theory of lean design, but also gives direct and simple instruction on the "how to" practice lean design. The solutions and tools mentioned in the book combine well with existing lean design and lean manufacturing strategies. I found that the book was very easy to read and contained a lot of real life examples.

A Great ReadMar 16, 2005
By Steven F. Ungvari
Bart Huthwaite's new book, The Lean Design Solution is an easy to read and very insightful book on how to develop new products that will exhibit "leaness" as well as a healthy dose if innovation. What Bart has been able to do in this book is to articulate the problem of trying to deliver functionality across four different domains, e.g., design, supply chain, manufacturing and customer wnd clearly understanding how to mitigate against the unwanted byproducts i.e., "waste" in all of these domains. If you want to quickly gain the experience of 22 years of working with product teams, this book does an excellent job of telling you how.
