About this title

Synopsis

Lean Administration, by Jerry Feingold, is a wake-up call to companies that pride themselves on being Lean. Unfortunately, these companies measure their success on manufacturing improvements, but have overlooked the rest of the enterprise where the majority of waste exists. Lean Administration, provides a roadmap and requisite tools for improving the critical administrative functions in an enterprise. Fun to read and highly instructive, Lean Administration proves conclusively that Lean isn't just a manufacturing tool, and illustrates how leaders must drive change throughout the organization- not just the factory floor.
