The concepts of lean manufacturing are the answers to many problems in today`s factories in this day of increased global competition. The improvements to productivity, quality, lead times, and cost are well documented. However, lean manufacturing is only successful if the commitment and dedication is there from those who run the business. Implementations fall apart because of lack of management support, poor procedures and standards, lack of accountability and vision. In short, the author points out that leaders and practitioners must admit that lean manufacturing has failed in many companies where it has been tried.
This book will outline what the the most common mistakes are, and it will provide solutions to upper management, engineers, and supervisors who are struggling to make their lean implementations successful. It champions the importance of the Kaizen philosophy of continuous improvement. It will help prepare management for working in a lean shop floor environment. Dealing with the ups and downs of lean implementations can be tough to manage and this book will show what is expected of managers and workers alike. This is no "theory" book. It is a step-by-step, what-to-do book for the people in the trenches, written by one of the most highly respected experts in the field.
