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.
