The Key to Sustained Lean

The authors have clearly explained the key to successful, sustainable, implementation of Lean via their research and analysis. Even though the focus of the study is the aircraft industry, their Variation Management emphasis and methods are relevant to all industries and companies of all sizes. I strongly recommend this book to anyone who wants their organization to excel in today's highly competitive marketplace. The past 2 decades have been filled with too many Lean implementations that have not resulted in significant, long term results; I believe, this book clearly shows why this has often happened, and conclusions are supported by the authors' detailed, rigorous, analysis approach. Therefore, you will begin to understand the difference between the "pseudo"-lean companies and the real-lean, successful companies.
