Inhaltsangabe

Most companies that adopt Lean adopt only half of it — the tools — and then wonder why the results are poor and don't last.

REAL LEAN Volume One is a collection of sixteen essays that examines the gap between common Lean practice and the original, Toyota management system. The central argument is straightforward: Lean is a complete management system built on two principles, "Continuous Improvement" and "Respect for People," and deploying only the first is "Fake Lean."

Drawing on more than a decade of experience in consumer products and aerospace industries, the author covers ground other Lean books usually skip: the historical roots of waste-elimination thinking; a striking analogy between learning music and learning Lean; and the application of Lean principles beyond the factory floor to higher education, government, and non-profit organizations.

A practical, concise resource for managers, supervisors, and executives reconsidering their Lean approach. REAL LEAN finally gives the "Respect for People" principle the attention it has always deserved.
