Lean Manufacturing in Build to Order, Complex and Variable Environments (Lean Transformation)
To meet the constantly changing demands of customers in a dynamic marketplace, the authors have combined the principles of Lean with computerized algorithms in a way not done before, creating a new Lean paradigm for businesses operating in highly variable, complex manufacturing environments. The impact on companies in such categories is almost certain to be huge. One can expect a reshuffling to occur and winners and losers to emerge not imagined or anticipated today. --Bruce A. Henderson, Former Chairman & CEO of Imation Corporation
