Concise action steps for achieving lean results by improving the competitive "fitness" of a company
Building the Fit Organization gives executives a distilled, jargon-free method for attaining the benefits of lean management under real-world conditions. The corporate landscape is littered with companies that have failed to achieve success by mirroring the Toyota Way, but this book distills the lessons from the Toyota Production System into six core concepts and presents them in the easily understandable language of physical fitness and athletic excellence.
You can easily create a dynamic, constantly improving, profoundly customer-focused organization with this revolutionary guide's realistic game plan, complete with case studies and interviews highlighting how lean principles were used at actual companies as well as self-assessment checklists in each chapter for evaluating corporate "fitness" at any type of institution.
