Beskrivning
What is Lean?Pure and simple, lean is reducing the time from customer order to manufacturing by eliminating non-value-added waste in the production stream. The ideal of a lean system is one-piece flow, because a lean manufacturer is continuously improving.Most other books on lean management focus on technical methods and offer a picture of how a lean system should look like. Other books provide snapshots of companies before and after lean was implemented.This is the first book to provide technical descriptions of successful solutions and performance improvements. It's also the first book to go beyond snapshots and includes powerful first-hand accounts of the complete process of change; its impact on the entire organization; and the rewards and benefits of becoming lean.At the heart of Becoming Lean are the stories of American manufacturers that have successfully implemented lean methods. The writers offer personalized accounts of their organization's lean transformation. You have a unique opportunity to go inside the implementation process and see what worked, what didn't, and why.

"Becoming Lean implies a journey. We will reach our destination when we apply the philosophies underlying lean to develop our own lean system. There's no reason not to start trying. There are no experts, just people with more experience. The longer we wait, the more experience our competitors will have when we start."John Y. Shook, Director, Director, Japan Technology Management Program, U of Michigan 06/01/04"Becoming Lean fills an urgent need by describing in great detail the initial steps taken by a number of pioneering American firms in a range of industries to introduce lean thinking. Change agents actually leading the effort describe precisely what worked and what didn't."James Womack, Author of The Machine that Changed the World 06/01/04
