How to use this book?

This is no ordinary book. But why?

Well, most of the usual books are read from the beginning to the end, and we see the story unfold through the pages. The Lean Playbook has no story. At least not in the conventional way. It has lots of stories, and you don’t need to read them in any particular order. Therefore here you can see the book at a glance, and which chapters are relevant to any particular topic you want to learn about…

Oh, but there is so much more...

This being a book about Lean, it would be preposterous to not be Lean itself. So, besides accessing the chapters you need at any particular moment, you can also follow certain “tracks” that will guide you through your present goal or towards your set task.

Optimize your company

The digital version of the Lean Playbook is finally available on your smartphones and tablets:

Who came up with the word 'Lean'?

Lean is a term introduced by Daniel T. Jones and James P. Womack in the 90’s to describe Toyota’s way of thinking, working and behaving. It is based on the core principle that everything we do, develop or manufacture, has to maximize customer value. All other activities, actions or efforts put into the production that cannot be linked to what the customer perceives as valuable, are regarded as waste in Lean.

The most common wastes in services

This means that our processes, methodologies and investments need to be reviewed to ensure that we are utilizing our resources in activities that are actually valuable for the customer. In our many engagements with organizations, we have seen that there is a great amount of time and money spent in producing documents, attending meetings, double checks or creating unnecessary bottlenecks.

The Lean Playbook can help you

The good news is that this book is here to help you out. Anyone can do Lean in their organization. At any level, from the smallest team to the most important core processes in your value chain. Results, even if they are not revolutionary most of the time, can bring significant improvements in cycle time, cost or product quality.
