Lean Thinking : Banish Waste and Create Wealth in Your Corporation
Lean Thinking : Banish Waste and Create Wealth in Your Corporation Review
Lean Thinking : Banish Waste and Create Wealth in Your Corporation Feature
If The Machine That Changed the World is a description of the Toyota system in the industry of its origin, Lean Thinking is a generalization of the basic concepts so they can be applied to any company in any industry. The authors begin by summarizing the five inherent principles in any lean system: 1 correctly specify value so you are providing what the customer actually wants, 2 identify the value stream for each product family and remove the wasted steps that don't create value but do create muda (waste), 3 make the remaining value-creating flow continuously to drastically shorten throughput times, 4 allow customer to pull value from your rapid-response value streams as needed (rather than pushing products toward the customer on the basis of forecasts), and 5 never relax until you reach perfection, which is the delivery of pure value instantaneously with zero muda. (The first part of Lean Thinking devotes a chapter to each of these principles.) In the second part, the authors describe in detail how managers in a wide range of companies and industries - small, medium and large, North American, European and Japanese - transformed their business by applying the principles of lean thinking. Chapters are devoted to Pratt and Whitney, Wiremold, Lantech in North America, Porsche in Germany, and Showa Manufacturing in Japan. Lean Thinking has sold more than 300,000 copies in the English language hard-cover version alone, because it's an indispensable companion for every manager making the lean journey.

Volkswagen: a Car for the People / A Success Story
Volkswagen: a Car for the People / A Success Story Review
Volkswagen: a Car for the People / A Success Story Feature
Volkswagen: a Car for the People ("Volkswagen: ein Wagen fuer das Volk") / A Success Story ("Eine Geschichte des Erfolgs") by Marc Evan Nonnenkamp is a comprehensive corporate and business history written by an avid Volkswagen enthusiast and owner with past familial ties to the Volkswagen business group - his aunt worked for Volkswagen of Canada for almost 40 years, and with Mr. J. Stewart Perkins who eventually became the President of Volkswagen of America in the USA. The book includes a discussion of past and current Volkswagen group brands (Volkswagen, Audi, SEAT, Skoda, Bentley, Lamborghini, Bugatti, Scania, MAN, Porsche and joint-venture partners from around the globe such as FAW, SAIC-Nanjing and GAZ-Steyr) as well as the group's leading position within the contemporary automotive industry. At the end of World War Two in 1945 Volkswagen appeared to have a bleak future as did its devastated German homeland. The company became a leading player in Germany's postwar economic recovery and now outperforms all other automotive groups combined in spite of a global economic downturn. Read about the unique engineering-driven corporate culture which makes this success a reality—a topic of interest to Volkswagen enthusiasts in particular, automotive enthusiasts in general and to all people concerned with global economics at large. Among major global automakers, only Volkswagen of Germany and Hyundai-Kia of South Korea avoided the massive and wasteful taxpayer-funded government bailouts prevalent throughout North America, Asia and Western Europe!
