Title: Audiobook was good content, marginal audio
Review: I listened to the audiobook version, and this review pertains to that. The material was pretty good, and the examples - like the airline industry and auto repair - bring lean into a perspective that every listener could understand and relate to. It was easy to see how lean methods could be applied - and also the examples went beyond the obvious to things like point to point private jet service, and redesign of planes to permit faster turn times, as examples tpo stretch the imagination.The audio, which was James Womack himself, was a little slow paced and done in a monotone. It was tough to keep my attention while listening in the car - and it wasn't because of the content. I've listened to some great audiobooks done by professional readers who can bring material to life - and would have recommended that these guys do the same thing next time. Womack is arguably the genius behind US lean thinking, but he's not well suited to be a recording artist...
