Lean That Lasts
The 80/20 Way to Improve the Work and Remove Unproductive ComplexityBy Bill CanadyRecorded TrackLength4h 27m
About this audiobook
Every plant that tried Lean has the layers to prove it.
Four choices make Lean last:
Aim it. Draw the Quad of the work, and start where the money and the hard work meet.
Run it every day. Small changes on a card, the hour-by-hour board, the huddle that starts on the minute. The kaizen week is the booster, not the program.
Let the line own it. Team leaders, a skills matrix, a coach who owns no result, and a promise that no improvement costs anyone a job.
Count it in results. Lead time, on time and complete, first-pass yield, and dollars the chief financial officer signs.
Every tool is worked through at one composite plant, from the first morning to the thousandth day, with the numbers shown, including the morning after the coach left.
This audiobook uses a digital replica of the author's voice. The complete forty-worksheet Field Guide is sold separately.
