This book is. a fair introduction to lean. I felt most areas were covered simply enough to prime the reader. I did feel a couple areas were over complicated. I specifically talking about the VSM section. The author really over complicated this core piece, never really covering its purose...seeing material and informational flow. He talked about all kinds kidnapping but never mentioned. spaghetti mapping.

Again decent intro book.

I received a copy of this audiobook free of charge in exchange for my honest feedback.

Overall, it was a pretty good intro to the vocabulary, but hardly scratched the surface of Lean.

The included PDF was pretty useful; I may review it again later.

The narrator was pleasant and a good fit for this type of instructional material. She didn't distract from the content.
