  'Lean thinking' is a Japanese quality improvement methodology first used in manufacturing.

This practical, hands-on primer heralds an exciting new alternative for organizations in search of improvement objectives with the help of an established methodology. This book helps you: better understand the origins of and concepts behind lean thinking; learn through example how real-life organizations employed lean thinking before implementing similar approaches to their own processes; and, explore and consider other systems more completely.
