The Modern Lean Enterprise

Meer over het boek

The book explores a modern reorientation of Lean principles, shifting focus from traditional waste elimination to achieving indirect efficiency through sustainable practices. It emphasizes the relationship between value and waste, arguing they are not opposites but different aspects of a process. By leveraging complementarity theory, it illustrates how Lean Enterprises can maximize gains through joint investments in complementary activities. This approach aims to enhance resource utilization and facilitate smoother transitions into the digital era and Industry 4.0 for Lean companies.
