Staying Lean

Originally self-published by the author, this 2009 Shingo Prize winner reports on the experience of a multi-national company that successfully implemented Lean in both its manufacturing and commercial operations over a six year period. Based on a model of sustainable change, the text defines by example the elements of successful Lean management that are often difficult to emulate as well as more visible features of process management.
