The Lean Primer will allow you to train the organization to understand how critical the implementation of Lean principles and processes are to your short and long term success. It will provide the various reasons why an organization must go Lean, as well as detailing what Lean is. Lean will be explained in the terms of Stabilize, Flow, and Sustain with reference to the following topics of lean vision, waste, value stream mapping, 5S, takt time, buffer and safety stock, continuous flow, standard work, quick changeover, kanban, visual controls, mistake-proofing, leveling, paced withdrawal, visual production control, runners, TPM, and kaizen. Each of these tools will also be explained with digital photos from world-class shops from across the US that shared their best practices.

LEAN BASICS WITH GREAT EXAMPLES 2005-06-05 THE LEAN PRIMER fills a void in the plethera of Lean books in the market. The simple explanation of Lean tools, as well as the actual plant examples, allow you to see these tools in action. What I really like about this book is the photos from shops that you can tell are in the midst of implementing Lean. No staged photos here in this book! Great job in making the bridge from all the other books on the tools and concepts to actual demonstrating it through examples.
