5.0 out of 5 stars Thank you! Excellent book
Reviewed in the United States on November 29, 2012
This is the first book that has explained 3P and most of the major Lean principles in a way that is easily understood by the masses. The content is comprehensive, clear and walks you through not only HOW to do a 3P event, but WHY you should always do a 3P before any significant resource investment.

The practical application was very useful for anyone that is just starting out in their lean journey as well as the most-seasoned leaders. I feel this is a must read for anyone either starting up a new process or considering a revision to their current process as the payback is tremendous.

Excellent book... There are so very few books out there explaining the 3P process and you've done a fabulous job with a dry subject! Thank you for taking such care in creating this valuable resource. It's worth it's weight in gold.

5.0 out of 5 stars The concepts in this book really work!
Reviewed in the United States on October 2, 2012
Having worked in the field of production equipment design for over 40 years I found that the concepts taught in this book were quite valuable. The most important concept was to get the design right from several proposed designs using the 3P process. This way a lot of redesign and wasted effort was avoided. The concepts in this book also helped the team ask the "right" questions and maintained a focused structure for the design process. A very nice job overall!

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding How-to-Guide!
Reviewed in the United States on October 1, 2012
This book is a 'must read' for community colleges serving industrial communities, and manufacturing companies seeking to improve their processes through effective hands-on employee training. Coletta did an excellent job of effectively spelling out all of the components associated with the Lean 3P process and providing much experience-based detail. The book is loaded with diagrams, tables, illustrations, templates, and examples, all of which make it easy to follow along and understand each step of the process. Highly recommended!
