reviews
A great place to start 
I like both the earlier Lean Transformation book and this follow up assessment workbook. Its ideal in situations where a number of business units or functions have already started their lean journey and you wish to create an accelerated co-ordinated enterprise wide program. It has a clear, simple structure with a practical framework (or model if you prefer) which takes you through the various organisational capabilities and assesses their readiness for lean change. If you already possess a good basic grounding in Lean principles and end-to-end thinking you be able to get the most out of this book. For the Lean practitioner this book is a life saver, enabling you to get a good understanding of your organisations current state of lean readiness before embarking on the creation of an enterprise wide solution. The absence of Lean Service Assessment tools prevent me giving this book five stars. If you are in a manufacturing company then its a five star book.
