EVERYONE TALKS ABOUT LEAN MANUFACTURING. ISN’T IT TIME YOU STOPPED TALKING AND STARTED BUILDING YOUR CULTURE OF CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT?

Leathers and Nally offer straight talk about what works, and what can go wrong, then distill and simplify Lean tools and strategies for your rapid application. The book is broken into three engaging sections:

“Straight talk and straight from the heart. Written by leaders who have been there and done it!”
--Mike Carroll, President/CEO, Steel Technologies

A Call for All Business Leaders to Stop Talking and Start Doing
Shut Up, Get Lean offers a simple but bold challenge: Ignite a sustainable culture of continuous improvement at your organization using proven methods, repeatable steps and easy-to-implement mindset shifts. Author and renowned business leader Ray Leathers invites readers to follow what he calls the keys to workplace culture, and provides real-world examples of how it’s done and done well. His collaborator Susan A. Nally outlines the practical steps in implementing a sustainable web of Lean tools that improve morale, improve quality, and improve financial results.
This book is more than just a “how to” manual on continuous improvement -- it’s a “been there, done that” insider account into the actions and lean strategies that were used to kindle the highly successful turnaround of a mid-sized US metal parts manufacturing company.
