About this title

Synopsis

An incisive and value-packed insight into the practical application of the Toyota Production System (or Lean) within the biopharmaceutical, pharmaceutical and medical devices industries. Written by a gifted trainer and leader in the niche, it is filled with tricks and traps on how best to navigate the treacherous minefield of regulations while generating significant and sustained benefit to the business and the patient. The Leanership model; integrating dynamic leadership behaviors with robust control systems and effective TPS tools, is described within the covers. The author, as a result of his time as a leader, manager, trainer and consultant is able to tell relevant personal stories to illuminate the key concepts and philosophies that will enable the reader to replicate his results. Illustrated with profound quotes from world leaders and salted with a quirky sense of humor, this treasure of a work is an easy, fast read.
