For years, Lean initiatives have generated staggering improvements on the shop
floor. And now many business leaders want these Lean benefits incorporated into
non-traditional environments. This book demonstrates how to efficiently translate
and transition Lean manufacturing principles into any office. Inthis work, Carlos
Venegas confirms that the competitive advantage will go to those who manage
information most effectively and efficiently. It is not enough to be a Lean manufacturer
- you need to be a Lean business. The author translates the language of Lean
Manufacturing into the language of Lean Office Flow, bringing bits, bytes, and conversations
into the concrete world of process improvement.
