Summary: Texan's don't like it!
Review: Not as good as others out there, especially the Kaizen Event Implementation Manual. No details or real life information.

Summary: Not much new information when you have read 'Kaizen' already
Review: The book Gemba-Kaizen is somewhat disappointing if you have read the book 'Kaizen' already. It gives not much new information. The only new idea in the book is the attention given to the 'Gemba', the place where the processes are performed. Imai is right to stress the importance of the Gemba for operational excellence and he gives some nice tools and examples to illustrate the Gemba's importance. However, only one nice idea is somewhat poor to fill a whole book. The major message of the book can be told just as well in an articel of no more then 4 pages.

Summary: GREAT!
Review: This book is definitely worth your time to read if you are interested in expanding your understanding of the whole Kaizen process and methods.

Summary: A great tool for your continuous improvement toolbox.
Review: This book will change the way you think. If you apply the methods in the book, you will be well on your way to that continuous improvement journey. I am constantly finding myself trying to apply Kaizen principles everywhere I go.

Summary: Disappointing
Review: This hardly qualifies as a book: not more than 30 pages including the covers!It includes lots of Lean Manufacturing concepts, but at such a superficial level that it's not much use. Go for Masaaki Imai's Gemba Kaizen which really is first rate.
