A Great Read About Lean Applied to Business Systems

"Transforming Strategy into Success" is a practical and direct guide on how to think about applying lean enterprise, which I used to think about for manufacturing, to business systems for process and profit improvement. Reb and the team have done a great job of bringing the topic together and making it useful. I recommend it! by Kenneth H Marks, lead author of The Handbook of Financing Growth: Strategies, Capital Structure,...

It's a usable and insightful book on the subject of creating a lean enterprise. It's simply the best book on lean strategy you can buy.

Leadership Brackets Practical Steps to Lean Enterprise

George Shinkle, Reb Gooding and Mike Smith have captured very practical steps to developing a lean enterprise by leading off with the importance of leadership and concluding with the same. Their very extensive "internship" at General Motors and Delphi show through in the practical process steps and helpful worksheets. A valuable resource for those of us trying to move from where we are to where we want to go.
