“After reading Lean Auto Body I find the author provides a great look at how lean can be applied in the collision repair industry. It’s not the run of the mill lean book that provides theory; it has clear direction and detailed approaches of how lean should be implemented in body shops. The authors obvious experience in the body repair industry and lean is clear.”
