Quantum Leap: In Speed to Market

Summary: Operational Platitudes - All Flash and No Substance
Review: Overall, I was very disappointed with this book. I agree with the general concept of Costanza's philosophy, but he left out the chapter on how to actually deploy his methodology. Platitude after platitude, I read about the results I could expect, but was left empty handed when it came to implementation. In addition, I felt that I have already read about this concept while reading about the Toyota Production System and Goldratt's Theory of Constraints among other mathematically based technologies. It appears that all Costanza has done is packaged and marketed existing manufacturing methodologies into a "new" technology.

Summary: Self promoter
Review: Self promotion 100%. Look at the dates on the 5 star reviews. All within one week of one another, and several the same day. Who is this man Costanza? A self promoter. Save your money and buy Lean Thinking.

Summary: Outstanding
Review: This is the best approach I've seen. This results driven methodology makes improvements happen quickly. I would, however, skip the first couple chapters to get to the meat and potatoes. If you're looking to be a hero your answers are in Demand Flow! Thanks for the help John Costanza!

Summary: This book teaches the most effective manufacturing process.
Review: Wow! "The Quantum Leap" opened my eyes to a great new way of manufacturing and doing business. John Costanza's book is a comprehensive blue print and guide to manufacturing which relies on customer demand - rather than guess work - to get the job done in record time. The one word to describe what John Costanza teaches throughout this book is QUALITY. One learns how to design quality into the process and the product from the very start, reducing rework by a huge amount. John Constanza's Demand Flow Technology is very straight forward, after reading this book I was left wondering "why haven't we been doing it this way all along? it makes perfect sense." I have recommend "The Quantum Leap" to all my colleagues.
