Synopsis
"By skillfully weaving lean concepts into a childhood enterprise, readers are introduced to and prompted to start thinking about lean methodologies, and how they can positively impact their workspace and their organization as a whole. That this can be accomplished without becoming bogged down in sterile terminology that detracts from its value is a testament to the author's facility with the subject. Brian Leonard presents a compelling case for a range of industries to adopt the mindset required for success in this twenty-first century marketplace." -William Rizzo, Psy.D "Extremely readable book. Reads like a novel, not a textbook, which makes it easier to learn the material. This book will get everyone in your organization prepared for the journey to lean." -Jim L. Windle, Ph.D. Professor Lean Enterprise Purdue University

April 17, 2008: We were having difficulty getting employee acceptance of efforts to go lean. After reading this book I added it to our lean curriculum. Trainees are now given a copy of this book the week before lean training begins and we have noticed a tremendous difference in employee 'buy in'. The employees also seem to grasp the concepts much faster having read this book as a prep. Simple, basic, effective, and interesting enough to be easily read in one evening.

December 28, 2006: After reading this book we decided to use the story line as an activity in our lean training program. Two teams set up lemonade stands. The only guidelines were that one stand used batch and queue systems, the other lean. In our next group of trainees we used coffee instead of lemonade (also mentioned in this book). We took our training to the streets so to speak. Interesting results. Lean rules! The trainees commented on how much easier this was to understand following the exercises and thereafter reading this book. Kudos to the author.
