Book Reviews of Learning to See: Value Stream Mapping to Add Value and Eliminate MUDA
Book Review: Learning to draw valuestream diagrams!
Summary: 4 Stars
Book info : 3rd edition published in 2003.
Pre required knowledge: SMED, Continuous Flow Manufacturing
Purchased price : USD 17,50
This book is a workbook, it does not handle a lot of theoretical stuff on LEAN. 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 necessary details. Next it explains how to draw your future value stream and what to do to get there (on paper and on the shop floor). Be careful it does not say how to get there
The book is not very complicated and the way it is explained every fool can do the trick. What I found pity was that the majority of the book goes on the production process. It does not say a lot on the office value stream. Still, I can recommend this book to everybody that is looking for a practical starter on LEAN.
Summary of Learning to See: Value Stream Mapping to Add Value and Eliminate MUDA
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.
