Paperback. Condizione: Good. In REAL LEAN - Critical Issues and Opportunities in Lean Management (Volume Two), Bob Emiliani helps Lean management practitioners gain a greater awareness of the challenges they face when implementing Lean. In a lively and engaging style, he also provides additional explanation and critical analysis of the purposes, advantages, myths, and misinformation surrounding Lean management. The second volume builds upon the interesting and informative linkages to historical and long-forgotten perspectives that have contributed to the creation of Lean management as we know it today. As with volume one, REAL LEAN emphasizes Lean as a management system and the Respect for People principle because both are usually missing from the practice of Lean management today. Managers will find this book easy to read, amazingly insightful, and filled with practical information that will help them better comprehend and put REAL LEAN into practice every day.…
