Creating a Lean R&D System: Lean Principles and Approaches for Pharmaceutical and Research-Based Organizations

By Barnhart Terenc and Terence Barnhart

Book Overview

This book lays out the logic of why Lean implementation isn't strictly for manufacturing and describes why it can be just as effective in R&D organizations. Terence Barnhart, former senior director of continuous improvement at Pfizer R&D, describes the theoretical and physical underpinnings of creating a Lean transformation in any R&D organization, as exemplified by the Lean transformation initiated within the R&D division of a global pharmaceutical company.
