Generally, anything auto manufacturing related works too. Also: "The Principles of Product Development Flow: Second Generation Lean Product Development" https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6278270-the-principles-of-product-development-flow https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6278270-the-principles-o... We see a lot of words written on "lean" software development but I feel like it's better to learn from broader sources, and from industries that have had a lot more regulation and time to develop good practices.

"The Toyota Way" http://a.co/d/eso4HOR http://a.co/d/eso4HOR might be the best example of a very easy to read book that explores the Toyota system in a practical ways. It's full of a lot of anecdotes that really show how Toyota thinks in practice and isn't just a textbook you have to apply yourself.
