Description
Lean Thinking: Banish Waste and Create Wealth in Your Corporation is a business system for the 21st century that supersedes traditional mass production, financial control, and strategic systems. Based on the Toyota model, it combines operational excellence with value-based strategies to produce steady growth through various economic conditions.
The book profiles companies that have successfully implemented lean thinking, such as Lantech, Wiremold, Porsche, and Pratt & Whitney, which have maintained steady upward growth despite market turbulence. By focusing on what customers perceive as value, lean thinkers eliminate non-value-adding activities and create a smooth flow of design and product advancement.
This revised and updated edition provides a comprehensive guide to lean thinking, offering practical advice for businesses looking to improve their operations and create value in a rapidly changing market.
