 Lean Dynamics in a Chaotic World
When traditional managers apply traditional methods to chaotic events - Katrina, for example,or steep oil price increases - they get - you guessed it - traditional, disappointing results. Enter Steve Ruffa's approach to lean, as demonstrated by Toyota,Walmart and Southwest Airlines, three notches and two thousand miles above day to day lean operations. Ruffa provides hard answers and clear examples to the questions managers have been struggling with for over 15 years - how to take lean into bigger, crazier, more dangerous environments. Cross a hard aerospace engineer who loves real numbers, with great and flexible lean giants, and what you get is an over-riding lean approach dubbed Lean Dynamics by Shingo Prize winning author Ruffa, that US industries need right now. My only complaint? The title should have been Lean Dynamics.
A Must have for the Lean Practitioner!
This Audio CD of the Book "Going Lean" by Stephen Ruffa is a must have for the Lean Practitioner or any one in a leadership postion in the 21st Century who wants to lead their team to excellence.
