Review

Allows Lean to be applied in administrative areas with a simple 1-2-3 step process. We recently purchased some of these and found the additional 5S Desktop Pocket Handbook extremely helpful. --Doug Beument, Training Manager, ADVO Food Group

Remarkable collection of Lean tools and examples! We pretty much use this as our bible in the office. The Lean tools are basically explained as they relate to different types of non-manufacturing examples. We also like the human issues that are discussed throughout the book. --Chris Knight, Eaton Customer Service Manager

This book will keep you on the Lean Office journey without any detours. It's a great beginning book for the office and does not confuse you with too much detail. --Jane Hosmer, Training and Organizational Development Manager, Midwest Financial Group, Inc.
