AUTHOR COMMENTS:
We wrote this book because we wanted to provide a resource like none other for Lean practitioners. We also wanted to answer some key questions such as: How do you achieve an enterprise-wide Lean transformation? What is the interplay between two key principles, Continuous Improvement and Respect for People? What are the financial and non-financial results? What are the benefits of Lean for key stakeholders? Readers tell us that we were successful in answering these and many other important questions. We’re sure you’ll agree.
