In this volume, the authors stress the importance of reaching beyond single-point kaizens to ensure a sustainable Lean implementation process. The central feature of this work is the value stream management storyboard, a tool representing an eight-step process for Lean implementation. The storyboard brings together people, tools, metrics, and reporting into one visual document. The book includes a CD containing a Lean assessment tool and a storyboard template, as well as charts, forms, and worksheets.
