Staying Lean: Thriving, Not Just Surviving (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781439826171)

The first edition of this highly acclaimed publication received a Shingo Research and Professional Publication Prize in 2009. Explaining how to create and sustain a Lean business, it followed Cogent Power's first two Lean Roadmaps along their journey. Since then, much has changed. Several members of Cogent Power's senior management have moved on, steel prices have declined, and the credit crisis has sparked an unstable global economy. Set against these developments, this second edition reports on Cogent Power's response to these issues-detailing how they worked through their third Lean Roadmap.
