the point of view of this book is fourfold. it’s written by a advisor World Health Organization is targeted on engineering principles and really sensible applications therefore progress will be created in brief order.

 it’s stuffed with theory however contains a”how to” approach for simple application. Finally, it’s positively meshed to the producing world and focuses on applications of Lean principles so massive early money gains will be created.First, this book is written from the attitude of a advisor. which means it offers a good deal of sensible recommendation, is stuffed with examples, and is meshed toward creating progress—in some cases terribly speedy progress. each effort is createdto stay the principles and applications as easy as they’ll be and, wherever applicable, these principles square measure reduced to Points of Clarity.Second, this book is written primarily from AN engineering viewpoint. Lean producing, conjointly called the Toyota Production System (TPS), is a component of a business system, therefore there clearly square measure business aspects thereto.

However, AN engineer ought to simply perceive this book, a production supervisor ought to conjointly, and virtually anyone concerned in processes can establish with these materials. Most of the principles invoked here square measure engineering principles that support the business. we’ve steered removed from covering several of the massive and deep cultural changes required to totally implement Lean (TPS) for 3 reasons.

 however before moving into the precise reasons for this, let ME tell you a story I actually have seen continual again and again.Arthur, the plant manager, has simply came back from the annual division coming up with meeting, wherever a good deal of attention was given to the necessity for producing value reduction. All plant managers were suggested to seem into the Lean producing system.

 wired with enthusiasm and slightly of worry, Arthur appointed John, his young, bright, energetic production manager to analysis the subject and create a proposal that they may discuss by the tip of the quarter. therefore John searched the net and located a three-day Lean seminar that he may attend to broaden his understanding of Lean producing.
