Recommendation
In this comprehensive manual, long-time Lean specialist Drew Locher demystifies Lean for the administrative world. He details how firms can stabilize and organize by “value stream,” standardize processes, create “flow” and implement “pull” systems using “visual management.” Those working in office and service environments will benefit from his step-by-step instructions and tips for leadership illustrated with real-world scenarios. Lean, the author emphasizes, is a process that works best when all levels of your organization totally commit to it, with “perfection as the goal.”
