 Not all about one company! Feb 08, 2010
By Radman
I liked this reading. Eventhough the title makes it seem to be all about Harley, it covers a lot more than that.
It points to the challenges of bringing the Lean thinking and practices into Product Development environment. The power of this book lays on its story telling. It smoothly transitions from walking you through many actual cases to the teaching of tools and principles.
Lean PD has a lot to do with culture and way of thinking. This book does a great job pointing them out through actual examples. Dantar goes through about two decades of relevant cultural influences, people relationships and tools development and utilizations.
Enjioy the reading by letting the segments soak for a while!
An intriguing spin through Harley-Davidson's production cycle Oct 04, 2010
By Rolf Dobelli
"getAbstract"
The Harley-Davidson Motor Company revels in the marketing image it has crafted and maintained for more than a century. Mere mention of the motorcycle giant conjures up visions of tattooed, muscle-bound renegades blazing an intimidating trail on the nation's highways. Harley's corporate environment exists in stark contrast to this image. Their staff features progressive, astute individuals who enjoy a stellar reputation for innovative business practices. Author Dantar P. Oosterwal, Harley's former director of product development, is eminently qualified to critique the organization's operation. To his credit, Oosterwal resists engaging in self-congratulatory back-slapping. Instead, he presents a backstage tour of Harley-Davidson, expounding on its philosophies, procedures and problem-solving methods. Oosterwal, who earned a master's degree in management at MIT, focuses on business theories and dynamics, not personalities. While the book is not necessarily geared toward novice professionals, getAbstract nevertheless believes that Oosterwal's mantra should resonate loudly within corporations everywhere: Practice innovation and emphasize quality - or risk extinction.

The Whole Tool Kit With Instructions! Mar 04, 2010
By Professor Gear Head
"Bob"
UNLIKE so many books on process, The Lean Machine does not lose the reader in boring theoretical gibberish. Rather, the book sets the stage and takes the reader on a ride to understanding many concepts via a real situation, with real people who seek to take on a real process challenge. Mr. Oosterwal writes in a style that captures a reader's interest through the weaving together of theory, challenge, change and triumph using a real Harley Davidson business situations. The practical tools to enhance processes and accomplish tangible business results are explained and illustrated with the right balance of technical theory and common sense application. The book will keep your interest and leave you in a better place--just like a ride on a Harley on a beautiful summer day. Give it a ride!
