Download or read book Practicing Lean written by Cameron Stark and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2017-01-31 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a book about practicing, learning, and sharing our experiences with the Lean methodology and the Toyota Production System. Doctors don't "implement medicine," they practice medicine. Lawyers don't "implement cases," they practice law. Shouldn't Lean facilitators, consultants, managers, and the like, also "practice Lean?" When most of us start with Lean, the practices and principles are new. We might struggle to make change happen. I know I did. Our initial clumsy efforts hopefully turn into proficiency and mastery over time. We shift from "doing Lean" to "being Lean" and teaching others how to be Lean. This book is a collection of honest and unvarnished first hand stories about learning, failing, and getting better at leading Lean transformation efforts. What mistakes have been made? What are the lessons learned? How do we "Plan, Do, Study, Adjust" our way to more effective Lean transformation models? Proceeds from the book will be donated to the non-profit Louise H. Batz Patient Safety Foundation. Disclosure: Mark Graban is on the board of the Batz Foundation. We have a diverse set of contributors who come from various industries - manufacturing, healthcare, software, startups, etc. Authors include: Mark Graban Author of the books Lean Hospitals and Healthcare Kaizen, blogger at LeanBlog.org Nick Ruhmann Director of Operational Excellence for Aon National Flood Services, Inc.
