DESCRIPTION:
Xavier Pérez said Good book. Fantastic book full of lean-working-experiences. Hard work done by the author, and well explained in this book. A necessary must in your lean library.. "This is a must-read for any senior-manager, including C" according to Amazon Customer. This is a must-read for any senior-manager, including C suite managers, of any company interested in creating efficiencies in production and winning the battle of profitability on the front line.
How daily management and sustainable continuous improvement produces dramatic positive effects on the bottom line. Why it deeply invests in the lean training and practice of every single employee every day.. 8 steps executives can take to lead experiments to create a bullet-proof, real-time daily management system without expensive consultants. In his engaging story, Lancaster reveals: Why Lantech, a stellar lean performer for a decade, struggled over time (like many other companies) to sustain gains and improve financial performance. What happens in daily huddles where team members review how well they are sustaining gains and staying on track. It's a close-up, candid look at his personal transformation as a leader. Why 60 to 90 minutes of daily frontline management activities are a CEO's most important minutes of the day for sustaining and growing their business. How Lantech ties together all facets of the company in an integrated way (from sales to production). Why daily management requires a major shift in managers' mindsets and behaviors from giving orders and judging individuals on performance to asking questions and enabling good work by people at lower levels so metrics are routinely met. How to practice true lean leadership in which "bosses" truly act like coaches -- not solving problems for people but asking them what they can to do help. I
