- Book 3 of 4: Lean Thinking
You've probably always dreamed about managing large projects for awesome companies or organizations. You've most likely dreamed about using a way to manage projects more effectively and more efficiently. The message I want to share with you can help you get closer to your dream.
Maybe you've never managed a project before. Perhaps you've overseen projects previously, but without any success or very little success. I know you want to change things for the better, but the question might be: how?
Creating, keeping, and delivering valuable projects doesn't have to wear you out completely! There's a way to handle projects with more flow.
Even if you may have tried various project methodologies and failed in all of them, this can help you gain more insight into what needs to change.
A study done by researchers Raja Sreedharan and Ramasamy Raju showed that Lean Six Sigma is a strategy for success.
Furthermore, a paper by James Womack and Daniel Jones showed that Lean Thinking is the new best way to better processes.
Various Lean wastes are eliminated or reduced to a high degree. Lean Thinking is the antidote to wasteful processes.
So, why wouldn't you take this antidote to get rid of wasteful elements in your operations?
The value that both Lean and Six Sigma create individually is excellent in and of itself, let alone when these are paired together!
Having a sound understanding of these methods will set you apart from other project managers.
This book will help you on this journey.
Here are some things you'll learn:
- Fundamental principles and concepts that will improve your processes manyfold.
- Tools and techniques to better understand your customer.
- Methods to identify root causes and solve them.
- An overview of the most crucial process in Lean Six Sigma.
- The countless benefits of using Lean Six Sigma.
- Various examples of the multiple phases you should undertake.
- Numerous step-by-step explanations on how to move forward with Lean Six Sigma.
So, what are you waiting for? Grab this book, and let's start our journey!

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.

The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.

The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
