Lean Diagnostics Almost Everything You Think You Know About Lean is Probably Wrong by M. James Allen

There are many roads to successfully padding your dream account with the insurance of money. Certainly Lean is a tried and true, waste eliminating and efficiency-boosting road. But even Lean initiatives may be wasteful and consume time and resources if not properly applied. Each company engaged in Lean transformation finds a slightly different road to achieve the cultural change needed to efficiently pull monetary value to the bottom-line where it can foster dreams and aspirations. Some have found a very quick and satisfyingly efficient sequence of Lean implementation initiatives for that purpose. Others, while still moving along the road, become frustrated and impatient with lack of timely results. In the latter case, something is missing. In this eBook, Dr. Allen makes a simplified presentation of that missing something. His research has shown a sequence of common sense Lean initiatives that are characteristic and common to every successful company across a large spectrum of organizations from nearly every commodity, public or private business, and profit or non-profit service organization.
