Lean Manufacturing in Build to Order, Complex and Variable Environments (Lean Transformation) - Softcover
Synopsis
A business that can provide exactly what its customers want at a competitive price, and do so when its customers want delivery, will have an insurmountable advantage over competition that cannot. That’s why from oil rigs to trucks customized for specific purposes, from large scale HVAC systems and ship engines to houses and airplanes, this book will create a new playing field for leaders of companies who wish to offer customers complex products that are built to order. The authors show and tell how it is not necessary to move production offshore to achieve lower costs and at the same time produce products customized for specific needs. And they explain how quality and speed of delivery will simultaneously be enhanced by using lean manufacturing techniques. No wonder this book a must read for anyone involved in manufacturing in today.

Review
To meet the constantly changing demands of customers in a dynamic marketplace, the authors have combined the principles of Lean with computerized algorithms in a way not done before, creating a new Lean paradigm for businesses operating in highly variable, complex manufacturing environments. The impact on companies in such categories is almost certain to be huge. One can expect a reshuffling to occur and winners and losers to emerge not imagined or anticipated today. --Bruce A. Henderson, Former Chairman & CEO of Imation Corporation
