Description

Updated with new information, illustrations, and leadership tools, Leading the Lean Enterprise Transformation, Second Edition describes how the metrics used by Toyota drive every line item in a financial remark in the right direction. Reasonably than focus on Lean tools and principles, the new edition of this bestselling reference specializes in what may be the least understood and most critical aspect of a Lean transformation: the building of a Lean culture. Along with new appendices with background information and insightful stories on Lean leadership and implementation, it includes new information on tactical organization practices, strategy deployment, and Lean culture.

An inductee to IndustryWeek’s Hall of Fame, George Koenigsaecker illustrates successful strategies and valuable lessons learned with case histories of U.S. leaders who have been instrumental in bringing Lean to the forefront. He explains using value stream analysis at the leadership level and describes how to structure kaizen events that can give a boost to the value stream. Organized in the chronological sequence that a leader embarking on a Lean journey would experience, the book discusses the methods used by the creator right through the Hon Company’s successful Lean conversion, which doubled productivity, tripled revenues, and led IndustryWeek to recognize Hon as one of the most “World’s 100 Best Managed Firms.”

The book not only introduces powerful leadership tools―including strategy deployment, transformation value stream analysis, and transformation plan of care―but also arms potential change agents with the soft skills needed to define, develop, and communicate their vision. Detailing the steps required to sustain improvements, it supplies time-tested guidance for effective leadership all through a Lean transformation in any organization.
