Description

This audiobook is based on the classic work by James P. Womack and Daniel T. Jones, which was distributed in dozens of countries in hundreds of thousands of copies. Today, nearly seven years after the book’s first publication, the approaches described in it have gained popularity among managers and businessmen. Companies that chose the path of lean production—starting with the small Lantech, the mid-sized Wiremold, specialized Porsche, and the giant Pratt & Whitney—were able to make a breakthrough in development and avoid the crisis that hit many companies in the mid and late 1990s. The leader and originator of the lean production philosophy—Toyota— is close to becoming a world leader in automobile manufacturing. There is no doubt that the lean production philosophy is the most powerful tool for creating value and fighting waste in organizations of any type. The included DVD for this audiobook presents the film “How to Start Implementing Lean Production,” which describes implementing lean methods at Russian enterprises OAO “Avtoelektronika” in Kaluga and at the Cheboksary Aggregate Plant. The film’s goal is to pass along practical experience to executives and owners of enterprises, as well as to specialists from consulting firms.
