"Kaizen for the Shopfloordemonstrates that kaizen events involve more than paying some high-priced sensei to sprinkle pixie dust and make everything wonderful. It explains how change really happens. We will definitely use this book as pre-event reading material for participants and also as an outline and checklist in preparing and executing our kaizen events."
E.J.Sweeney , Lean Initiatives Manager, Labinal, June 2004
" Kaizen for the Shopfloor answers a lot of questions that people often ask before, during, and after a kaizen event and ensures you have the right tools to follow up afterward. As a trainer, I would recommend that each employee read this book to fully understand the kaizen and lean manufacturing process."
James Biando, Training and Kaizen Coordinator, Saint-Gobain, June 2004
