Excellent Practical GuideJune 13, 2007 Mr. Ross Maynard(Glasgow, Scotland) 5 out of 5 found this review helpful
"Learning to See" is a very straightforward and practical guide to Value Stream Mapping. It is the original book on the topic and I haven't seen a better one.It guides you through the process in a very simple and clear manner. It is pretty much essential reading if you are involved in implementing lean in the workplace - along with the other books in the series - Making Materials Flow, Creating Level Pull etc. They are pricey books but worth it for the hands-on lean practitioner.

Many other authors make this stuff look like black magic.
Not so for Rother and Shook - they've produced an excellent text that quite rightly won the Shingo prize. The simple presentation and straigtforward explanation is a credit to the authors, especially since some of the techniques used are actually quite involved.
It's even spiral bound, so it stays open on the desk - almost as if they intended it to be used rather than kept on a shelf!
