Leading the Lean Enterprise Transformation

Updated with new information, illustrations, and guidance tools, "Leading the Lean Enterprise Transformation, Second Edition" describes how the metrics used by Toyota steer every position in a financial statement in the right direction. Instead of focusing on lean tools and principles, the new edition of this bestselling reference work may emphasize the least understood and most critical aspect of a lean transformation: building a lean culture. In addition to new appendices with background information and insightful stories about lean leadership and implementation, it includes new information on tactical organizational practices, strategy execution, and lean culture. George Koenigsaecker, a member of the IndustryWeek Hall of Fame, illustrates successful strategies and valuable lessons through case studies of American leaders who have played a crucial role in bringing lean to the forefront.
