Lean Thinking

Banish Waste and Create Wealth in Your Corporation, Revised and Updated

James P. Womack

This business classic outlines a system that supersedes traditional business models by combining operational excellence with value-based strategies. The Toyota (lean) model is at the heart of this system, prioritizing customer value and eliminating non-value-adding activities. The book provides a step-by-step action plan, with real-world case studies and examples, on how to implement the lean thinking approach. This method of thinking, doing and being, is a game-changer for any company or manager seeking to improve their performance and create a steady upward path of growth.
