Give that book a try. Kanban is a basic concept but there's no "cookie cutter" way that will ensure kanban works in every scenario. It's up to you to determine which elements to use and how best to use them in your unique scenario. Another lean tool you'll want to use in implementing kanban is the PDCA cycle, or Plan, Do, Check, and Act. Look at your situation and evaluate the facts. Then make a Plan. Once you've thought out your plan well, implement it (Do). Check and monitor the situation for a period of time - likely several months - and see what's going well and what is not. When you find something not going well or something that you can improve, Act to make that change or adjustment. Kanban won't take root overnight and you might even fail a bit at first, just like this guy did. Focus on the outcome and use PDCA to keep things moving in the right direction. Best of luck Edson.
