Early observers of Japanese methods focused on the shop floor to see amazing things unlike anything practiced elsewhere. And the thinking was, if the 'methods' could be adopted by companies elsewhere, those companies would experience the success of the Japanese. What the early observers hadnt considered were dramatic differences in the way those companies were managed, both daily and strategically. The 'management side' of Lean production is addressed in two new chapters, one devoted to daily management, the other to strategy deployment. Additionally, there is a new chapter that addresses breakthrough improvement and an approach to achieving it called Production Preparation Process.Every chapter has been revised and expanded to better tell the story of Lean productionitshistory, applications, practices, and methods.
