About this title

Synopsis

Transform your company’s critical operations―and its destiny―through a powerful kaizen-focused strategy designed for 21st century efficiency

A pioneer of the operational excellence movement that continues to transform businesses across the world, Masaaki Imai takes you to the next step of continuous improvement―developing an overall strategy for measuring your company’s operational performance and improving processes in ways that boost efficiency and gain competitiveness.

In Strategic KAIZEN™, Imai walks you through the process of shifting your focus from volume and speed to his revolutionary Flow, Synchronization, and Leveling (FSL™) evaluation―the most effective Lean paradigm available. At the heart of his approach is the concept of flow―ensuring that each work piece flows between processes without interruption and stagnation. This game-changing guide teaches you:

The critical importance of assessing corporate performance from both the financial and operational standpoints
How to identify basic structures of the ideal production and operating systems
Proven ways of implementing FSL to establish where improvements are most needed and build a strategy that takes you to new heights of corporate performance

Certain to be another instant classic from Masaaki Imai, Strategic KAIZEN™ provides an abundance of case studies from companies that have successfully implemented FSL™ and tangible know-how to improve FSL™ status to achieve a lean summit.

Whether you run a business, serve in public service, or practice Lean, this groundbreaking guide provides everything you need to transform your organization―and help lead it to the top of your industry, trade, or business.

Store Description

**Please note our transit times are from the date of dispatch.** We first started out as ?The Paperback Exchange,? a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become ?PBShop.? This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first purchase with us, or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free.
