While Lean practices have been successfully implemented into the process industry with excellent results for over 20 years (including the authors own award winning example at Exxon Chemical), that industry has been especially slow in adopting Lean. Part of the problem is that the process industry needs its own version of Lean. The larger part of the problem is resistance to transformational change, a barrier that can only be overcome with effective leadership and resultsoriented planning that engages rather than excludes all stakeholders.Winner of a 2012 Shingo Prize!Written by Raymond Floyd, an unparalleled leader of Lean transformations, Liquid Lean: Developing Lean Culture in the Process Industries provides potential process industry change agents with the nononsense guide needed to eliminate waste and achieve sustainable optimal efficiency.
