Lean Machines Learning From the Leaders of the Next Industrial Revolution
Author: Richard A. McCormack

CEOs, vice presidents, consultants, Wall Street analysts and accountants provide reader... more »s with their perspectives on how to implement a lean business system. They are the architects of such successful implementations as Pratt & Whitney's Achieving Competitive Excellence program, the Danaher Business System, the Alcoa Production System and Freudenberg NOK's hugely successful six-step lean process. Each of the 15 offers advice on how to overcome the barriers from the shop floor, to mid-level management, to the board room. They provide their personal experiences, insights and recommendations on the most important aspects of embedding lean systems within a corporate culture.
