Lean Management: Transforming the Way We Work
Every plant manager has heard the promise of Lean: less waste, faster delivery, higher quality. Few books show you what that actually looks like on a real production floor, step by step, with real numbers.
Lean Management is a complete, practical guide to the Toyota Production System and the tools it inspired — built around one manufacturer, Meridian Precision Components, whose stamping line you follow from Chapter 1 to Chapter 11 as it fixes changeovers, cuts defects, and rebuilds its scheduling around what customers actually order.
Inside, you'll find:
Every chapter pairs the theory with a worked example — a real OEE calculation, a Pareto chart built from actual defect data, a changeover cut from 90 minutes to 28 — plus original diagrams that make each concept concrete at a glance, not just another wall of bullet points.
Whether you're a plant supervisor starting your first 5S project, an operations student preparing for the field, or a manager trying to understand what your consultants keep talking about, this book gives you the full picture: not just what the tools are called, but how they actually work together.
