This book provides an in-depth description of the various Lean techniques and numerous real-world Lean projects from a wide variety of manufacturing, healthcare, and service processes, demonstrating how to apply the Lean philosophy. IT facilitates Lean instruction by providing interactive case studies which will enable readers to apply the various Lean techniques"--$cProvided by publisher.
