The concept of Lean is often associated with manufacturing and production processes. While the origin of such systems derives from the Toyota Production System it is in now being applied in service industries, healthcare and banking. What all of these sectors have in common is the transfer of information: in order to get anything done communication is required between many different stakeholders and players, regardless of the particular industry sector. Furthermore, because of the current state of globalization, the ever-increasing pace of new market entries and the need to establish suppliers in distant lands, an all-consuming interdependence defines todays business environment. While Toyota established a system to deal with factory floor problems in close proximity, todays factory floor is the size of the world. This book will apply principles of Lean to analyze and assess communication break-downs and problems across the supply chain. It will draw upon those same principles to demonstrate how to then develop a set of best practices and methodologies to improve those communications. The authors believe that by treating communication as a process, like any other business process, and by drilling deep into the details of Lean and showing how Lean practices can be applied successfully to optimizing the communications process, the entire organization and its supply chain partners will benefit.

Paperback. Condition: New. Four decades ago, the most progressive companies, particularly those in the manufacturing sector, embraced an aspirational notion stoically named Zero Defects. It was a broad corporate call to action in an era with no Internet, elongated supply chains, multicultural, multilingual, cross-generational work teams, or multiple time zones. It was to ensure product improvement, decrease in work-related accidents, and greater profits earned when less mistakes were made.Today with the kaleidoscope of disruptive forces in business transactions, the speed of commerce, and the ferocious level of competition for consumer loyalty and business survival-the cost of an enterprise's faulty communication can literally make or break a product. The digital age allows consumers to be informed instantaneously, which in turn has accelerated the change in tastes, decreased the life cycle of products and services, and is driving the need for companies to keep up. This book is an introduction to concepts associated with Lean methodologies and how these can be adopted to uncover waste and drive improvements in the interactions between participants in an organization.
