A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture

'Lean Thinking has been an enormous influence on my business thinking. It is not just about improving efficiency, it shows you how you can fundamentally transform your business'
Sir Terry Leahy, Chairman and Chief Executive, Tesco PLC
Expanded, updated and more relevant than ever, this bestselling business classic describes a business system for the 21s century that supersedes Ford's mass production, Sloan's financial control and Welch's strategic dominance. Following Toyota, it combines operational execution with value-based strategies to produce sustained growth.
In contrast with the crash and burn performance of companies trumpeted by business gurus in the 1990s, the firms profiled in Lean Thinking - from tine Lantech to mid-sized Wiremold to niche producer Porche to gigantic Pratt & Whitney - have prospered, largely unnoticed, along a steady upward path through the market turbulence of the nineties. Meanwhile Toyota has set its sights on the leadership of the global motor industry.
Lean Thinking clearly demonstrates that these simple ideas can breathe new life into any company in any industry in any country. It offers a new way of thinking, of being and - above all - of doing for the serious long-tem manager - one that is changing the world.
'For those of us trying to create the best, Dan and Jims' thoughts and continuing exploration of lean thinking are key influences'
Sir Ian Gibson, former Chairman, Nissan Europe Ltd

Présentation de l'éditeur

Lean Thinking was launched in the fall of 1996, just in time for the recession of 1997. It told the story of how American, European, and Japanese firms applied a simple set of principles called 'lean thinking' to survive the recession of 1991 and grow steadily in sales and profits through 1996. Even though the recession of 1997 never happened, companies were starving for information on how to make themselves leaner and more efficient.
Now we are dealing with the recession of 2001 and the financial meltdown of 2002. So what happened to the exemplar firms profiled in Lean Thinking? In the new fully revised edition of this bestselling book those pioneering lean thinkers are brought up to date. Authors James Womack and Daniel Jones offer new guidelines for lean thinking firms and bring their groundbreaking practices to a brand new generation of companies that are looking to stay one step ahead of the competition.
