My school asked us to read this book for professional development.

from Simon & Schuster Audio
Customer Review:
This was a tough book for me to read and, in fact, I'm still trying to get through it. As others have said the material is covered with generalities and lacks specifics. Perhaps its purpose is to explain the lean mindset which is fine but it is still a tough read. | 4.0 / 5.0

The book is as expected. I needed it for an Operations Analysis class and while it is rather informative, it is on par with most of the books I've seen about Statistical Analysis and Operations Management.
