This book is a crucial resource for Lean practitioners (experienced
or not) who are seeking: insight on how to gain more from their
Lean efforts, how to overcome resistance to change (that is, to
effectively convey 'What's in it for me?' to their business
associates), and to understand how other companies have overcome
the barriers to implementing Lean and incorporated it as the
common-sense approach to continuous improvement. The author shares
his specific experiences with Lean transformations-some successes
and some failures. His insightful perspective shows readers how the
understanding of Lean progresses from theory to common sense to
common practice. The Lean initiative is not merely a transformation
of skills, but the development of a robust continuous-improvement
culture. The book includes more than 60 case-in-point examples,
across a diversified range of industries, based on the author's
hands-on experience with many multinational corporations. These
case-in-point examples show transformations that have resulted in
$200+ million verified annualized savings for a diversified array
of industries. The author details his journey from industry Lean
practitioner to a consultant in a top-tier consultancy firm to
developing his own consulting practice.
