Publisher's Synopsis
This comprehensive program integrates all of Productivity's leading-edge methodologies, many familiar by themselves -- TQM, JIT, TPM concurrent engineering, CEDAC--into one holistic package. The Lean Management System provides a detailed set of diagnostic tools, with daily and monthly planning features, to help top executives and corporate planners define corporate vision and strategy, set company policy, and carry out that policy within the company throughout the year.
The Lean Management System is based on continuous, step-by-step improvement tasks that take you through four major cycles: annual policy analysis, company-wide development of new annual policy improvements, standardization through policy development and implementation, and policy verification. Within this framework, a series of seven sequential steps help you lay the foundation for successful policy, which in turn ensures concrete strategy and vision.
The starter kit consists of five components: two books, Corporate Diagnosis: Setting the Global Standard for Excellence and Implementing a Lean Management System; a complete set of diagnostic forms; a binder with tabs for organizing each team-basedstep throughout the year; and seven wall charts for use during training and team focus. The complete system is designed to organize and condense all information in one place and may be easily customized to your unique needs. Plan, analyze, and execute company policy according to your own requirements. When it's time to begin the cycle again, purchase only the components you need.
If you are a corporate manager, managing director, or department manager you will find the Lean Management System an indispensable tool for guiding your company toward strategic health and world class status.
