Becoming Lean: Inside Stories of U.S.
Manufacturers |
|
Author: Jeffrey Liker
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.
