 Recommended Lean Product Development Book August 4, 2006
Danny T. Moore (DC Area (NVA))
There aren't many books to help engineers apply lean in their product development efforts. There is no question Huthwaite's principles are right on, but then they aren't a pure lean Toyota play. I only wish his book was structured and edited to take some of the redundancy and folksiness out. Stating his principles with more brevity and clarity would shorten the book and make it a more powerful read--making it easier for an engineering group to pick up and apply. To Huthwaite's credit, there are principles here, that you won't find in any other lean Product Development(PD) book--he draws from his 22+ years of knowledge and client experience. That has value. Other great PD books includes Morgan & Liker's The Toyota Product Development System, Reinertsen's The Development Factory and Poppendieck's Lean Software Development.

"The Lean Design Solution" provides an extremely effective methodolgy in applying Lean Principles to product design and development. The book provides a holistic approach involving an integration of all stakeholders in the implementing the design process. This "Lean Design Solution" methodology of imbedding customer needs up front in the process has developed a very successful track record of delivering maximum effectiveness in design, as well as process and systems development. A significant hallmark of the book, is that the methodology and accompanying tools can be overlaid or incorporated throughout the enterprise's current Lean system to fully optimize and bring innovative, high quality products to market rapidly. The process is very effective as captured in the "Lean Design Solution" for all maturity levels of organization's Lean processes. The practical approach provided with the Lean Design Solution makes it a great read for all Lean practitioners as well as those who are in change agents in implementing Lean.
A Solution That Works March 19, 2005

Lean Design Solution is in itself a masterpiece in simplicity. You are walked through the basics of great innovative design in a step-by-step process. In over 25 years in the aviation industry I have never seen a book that does this so well.
You wont find any "fuzzy" abstractions in the book. The author provides an easy-to-understand, common sense techniques and, most importantly, useful tools that a project team can implement immediately.
Mr. Huthwaite's vast experience as a coach of design teams clearly comes through. This book is "hands-on" in every sense fo the words.
I beleive this is a must read for project leaders and team members alike.
Very instructional March 19, 2005

The Lean Design Solution not only gives great insight into the the theory of lean design, but also gives direct and simple instruction on the "how to" practice lean design. The solutions and tools mentioned in the book combine well with existing lean design and lean manufacturing strategies. I found that the book was very easy to read and contained a lot of real life examples.
