Synopsis

This is the first book to document an actual company's Lean transformation over a ten-year period. It presents, in detail, what The Wiremold Company did to achieve its transformation and their amazing results, both financial and non-financial. The book vividly shows how Wiremold applied Lean principles and practices to the entire enterprise and throughout the value stream. The Wiremold Company achieved outstanding success in a short period of time by using Lean as a comprehensive management system, rather than as a group of tools. The leadership lessons are invaluable for anyone involved with making the Lean management system come alive in their company.

From the Author

We wrote this book because we wanted to provide a resource like none other for Lean practitioners. We also wanted to answer some key questions such as: How do you achieve an enterprise-wide Lean transformation? What is the interplay between two key principles, Continuous Improvement and Respect for People? What are the financial and non-financial results? What are the benefits of Lean for key stakeholders? Readers tell us that we were successful in answering these and many other important questions. We're sure you’ll agree.
