Lean Execution: The Basic Implementation Guide for Maximizing Process Performance

Many books explain how to construct a value stream map, but few explain the process conditions and characteristics required to ensure a value stream map can be completed successfully. This book fills this need. Although the book explains Lean methods and tools that maximize process performance, its main focus is on providing detailed guidelines, process conditions, and helpful tips for ensuring successful implementation. Presenting material in a manner that mirrors the natural sequence for implementation, the book includes simple calculations, worksheets, and examples that reinforce the concepts involved with determining production rates and process variation.
