End-to-End Lean Management: A Guide to Complete Supply Chain Improvement - Hardcover

A groundbreaking volume that provides a complete and easy-to-understand approach to successfully implementing Lean principles. While there a number of valuable resources that explain the Lean philosophy, there are none that provide a holistic view and the 'how to' techniques needed to address today's relentless pressure to gain or improve a competitive advantage. "End-to-End Lean Management" shows how to apply Lean tools and techniques across the entire supply chain - from suppliers, through transportation, into operations, and through distribution to customers - with principles that can be applied to all types of organization across all industries. Driven by the Lean philosophy, this groundbreaking volume also provides a wide range of tools, techniques, and examples to support your systematic and continuous Lean journey.
