ABOUT THIS ITEM

With 14 new definitions touching on management, healthcare, startups, manufacturing, and service, the 5^th edition of the Lean Lexicon, is the most comprehensive edition yet of the handy and practical glossary for lean thinkers.

The latest Lexicon, updated in 2014, contains 60+ graphics and 207 terms from A3 Report to Yokoten. The Lexicon covers such key lean terms as andon, jidoka, kaizen, lean consumption, lean logistics, pull, plan-for- every-part, standardized work, takt time, value-stream mapping, and many more.

The new terms are:

Basic Stability
Coaching
Gemba Walk
Huddle
Kamishibai Board
Kata
Leader Standard Work
Lean Management
Lean Management Accounting
Lean Startup
Problem Solving
Service Level Agreement
Training Within Industry (TWI)
Value-stream Improvement

Unlike most other business glossaries in print or online, the Lexicon, introduced in January 2003, is focused exclusively on lean thinking and practice.

Like the past four, the fifth edition of the Lean Lexicon incorporates terms and improvement ideas from our customers. We continue to welcome suggestions from the growing lean community in its traditional industries and beyond. Pleases send your comments and improvement ideas to info@lean.org.

This is now my go-to reference book. In addition to serving as a glossary, it provides examples as well. I highly recommend it for all lean practitioners.

Lean Lexicon is the first book you want to buy to accompany your Lean Journey.

I keep this book with me at all times for reference.

Especially good with you starting out with Lean like myself. It very clearly states the brief idea on a concept in alphabetical order with images to support the writing.

Buy this book with Kaizen Express and keep close by at all times

Great book ! This book has the right balance between "concept review" and indepth explanation of the terms. The book stays on for particular topics that need more explanation but also provide the just the facts when that is all that is needed. Great reference book. It's well written, and with effective illustrations it effectively defines the terms. I am happy I purchased it.
