Description
The Lean Manager: A Novel of Lean Transformation by Michael Ballé and Freddy Ballé is a compelling story about plant manager Andrew Ward's journey to becoming a lean manager. As companies strive for sustainable business success, they face the challenge of advancing beyond isolated gains from deploying lean tools to fundamentally changing their operations and thinking. Lean experts offer a definitive guide for sustaining improvement and developing people, but only by producing lean managers who can solve problems, learn, and coach others in this discipline. The Lean Manager tells the story of Andrew Ward's transformation as he navigates the challenging yet rewarding journey to becoming a lean manager. This book matters because it addresses the critical problem of achieving lean transformation, rather than just realizing isolated gains from deploying lean tools.
