There are maybe a little too many references, although some of them are really excellent are good learning examples. Excellent book nevertheless! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A worthwile read for everybody dealing with the practical implementations of Kaizen. *by Y***I on April 19, 2016* A very good concretisation of the theses put forth in the first book. Maybe it is a bit too redundant at times, or too heavy on schematics, but I am sure a lot of people will appreciate especially this redundancy and imagery, so it is rather my personal taste, not a shortcoming of the book. Kaizen is still as modern as 20 years ago, and has never fully arrived in the West. There is still a lot to be done. ## Frequently Bought Together - Gemba Kaizen: A Commonsense Approach to a Continuous Improvement Strategy, Second Edition - The Toyota Way, Second Edition: 14 Management Principles from the World's Greatest Manufacturer - Lean Production Simplified --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.in/products/1704867-gemba-kaizen-a-commonsense-approach-to-a-continuous-improvement-strategy](https://www.desertcart.in/products/1704867-gemba-kaizen-a-commonsense-approach-to-a-continuous-improvement-strategy) --- *Product available on Desertcart India* *Store origin: IN* *Last updated: 2026-06-07*
