The book explains value stream analysis at the leadership level and how to structure Kaizen events to improve the value stream. It is organized chronologically and details the methods used during the Hon Company’s Lean conversion, which significantly boosted productivity and revenues. The book introduces powerful leadership tools and soft skills needed to define, develop, and communicate a vision, providing time-tested guidance for sustaining organizational improvements.
