I just paid for a sales pitch

I expected to learn about value stream mapping. this was just about selling six sigma, not teaching a methodology. I stopped half-way and skimmed through the rest in hope for content.

Glad to listen this book....

I Would like to thank the author for presenting such a great book. I would like to suggest it to all my friends. It explains about Lean Six Sigma: Value Stream Mapping: Simplified Beginner's Guide to Eliminating Waste and Adding Value with Lean. Good work

A good pitch but not a good story

Sounded like a sales pitch and provided little substance. It gave a decent history and overview of the subject but little detail.

I love lo listen about Lean and six Sigma but...

This book is a complete waste of your time, please save 53 minutes reading an actual boog of VSM, it is a simplified guide but still useless. there is no guide at all.

Sorry for wasted my money

Complete waste of money

I don't normally write reviews, but this book is so bad I felt I had to. This is a complete waste of money - poorly written, poorly narrated, and complete devoid of meaningful content.

Good.

Love it. Narration was good. There is just a basic overview of six Sigma. good to go.

Disappointing

This is essentially an infomercial for Lean Six Sigma. The book does not address value stream mapping as suggested in the title. The book is mostly composed of truisms and generalities. An interested reader would have to resort to at least one other work to actually implement any part of Six Sigma.

Awesome

I used this book to get my Lean Six Sigma.I recommend this book to anyone looking to use Lean Six Sigma methodologies in their company. I plan on using this to help my current team at work. It was easy to understand. I loved reading and listening at the same time.

filled with information

Lean Six Sigma is a set of powerful tools and techniques that will help any organization to improve its efficiency and productivity. Although they originated in manufacturing environments, their principles can be applied to businesses operating in any sector.

Practical. Real. On target.

This book will introduce you to the basics and show differences between Six Sigma and Lean Six Sigma. This book holds true to the name "A quick start guide for beginners". I would recommend to a friend.

Not a book, but a pamphlet.

This should not be called a book.

The content is barely enough for a pamphlet

A six sigma advertisement

No detail on value stream mapping as a process is or exercise. If you remove the words six sigma it would be half the length

clearlyexplained

Good book. Covers a lot of material and is very dense. Takes some time to understand and get through.This book is a must listen for young people just starting their adult life

Solid overview

This, in general, is a very well written book. This was a very good book on understanding the importance of modeling and communicating clearly to those in the organization. It also gives a solid understanding of value stream mapping and surrounding processes.

this book is a good place to start

It is definitely one of those books that everyone doing this work will want to own. It fills the gap that still existed for those of us who are in the service industry!Useful as an introduction to VSM mainly focused on service industries not for experienced people.

Great book.

Easy read. Inspirational for anyone who wants to kick Lean into gear.This is a great applied method to build a lean culture. Many of the ideas here I am applying each day!

Really good book

Wonderful book! This kept my interest from beginning to end. I would recommend the book to people who need to understand the basics of Lean but have not had a chance or resources to take an in depth course yet.

I love the way this book is outlined and written.

I love the way this book is outlined and written. It's really giving me a good foundational knowledge that can only benefit me in obtaining my certification.

Exceptional book for improving results

This book helps us make them on the basis of fact. I strongly recommend it. It presents good idea after good idea.Great book, very detailed and actionable.

A very valuable book

This is a great resource for anyone looking for information on Lean manufacturing and business practices. I highly recommend it. Great content and will hold onto it for future reference.
