Book Review: Velocity: Combining Lean, Six Sigma and the Theory of Constraints to Achieve Breakthrough Performance

This is the first "business novel" I've encountered. I think overall that strategy helped make the LSS principles understandable, but I think there was too much romance added into the story line. Even though implementing LSS principles into this fictional company's processes, a large part of their issues seem to be communications-based. Obviously there is a reason for the challenges that this fictional company has, but in real life, each of the company's business units should have been communicating to one another and may have been able to implement LSS principles without a huge LSS investment. If you're looking for an introduction into LSS principles, learning about the Theory of Constraints and the benefits of an unbalanced system, then pick this book up or listen to the audio book.
