By Terry Burton
"Applied Lean Business Transformation" is a timely work for our present global economic situation. This book integrates all of the methodologies and tools of Lean into a systematic process of planning, execution, sustainability, and long term success. Unlike many other books that focus on the Lean manufacturing tools themselves, the author provides excellent guidance about how to build these components into a Lean Operating System and transform culture. The book also provides practical direction about how to migrate Lean to the administrative areas of manufacturing. This is the handbook full of new advice, that will help your entire organization rise to new levels of Lean excellence and superior performance in this challenging economy.
