text: If you can learn to dance by reading a book whose recommendation was to hold your partner and "move to the music", then you may find "Kaizen Event Implementation Manual" useful. This book talks about the history and terminology of lean manufacturing and does go into detail about team member selection. After that, this book shows blank forms of some of the data analysis forms often used during a kaizen event, but tells you nothing of how to complete the forms and analyze the results. Nor is there any "road map" or guidelines for conducting a kaizen event itself. There is information about how to contact the author in the event that you decide to hire him to "fill in all blanks" in person. The book is simply another info-mercial where in this case, you are paying for the advertisement
