This book, while focused on VC, does adequately cover the others. Consider this&#8230; the book was written in the late 80&#8217;s, when Lean Manufacturing as a term had not yet been coined.<\/p>\n<p>And now, the review&#8230; this is an excellent study on visual communication. Although limited in scope (most practical examples were of western European factories), it is a study that should not be limited to factories; rather, one that has application in many aspects of daily life.<\/p>\n<p>Practical examples, diagrams, drawings, and checklists abound. Definitely user-friendly, and as the subject matter demands, visually communicative.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<div align=\"center\">\n<object width=\"520\" height=\"415\" classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" codebase=\"http:\/\/download.macromedia.com\/pub\/shockwave\/cabs\/flash\/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" \/><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" \/><param name=\"src\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/4_p9Yxkn_lM?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US&amp;rel=0&amp;color1=0x2b405b&amp;color2=0x6b8ab6\" \/><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" \/><embed width=\"520\" height=\"415\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/4_p9Yxkn_lM?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US&amp;rel=0&amp;color1=0x2b405b&amp;color2=0x6b8ab6\" allowFullScreen=\"true\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" \/><\/object>\n<\/div>\n<!--CusAds0-->\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This book is for relevant for all Lean Manufacturing Consultants interested in 5S, visual management systems, visual workplace, or interested in seeing visual factory examples, then this book is for you.
