'Lean' book is made available as a free download
'Uncovering Lean', an e-book that reveals the secrets of 'Lean', is
now available to download for free. Based on Mark Eaton's popular book,
'Lean for practitioners' (ISBN 978-1-905823-58-1), that is focused on
the healthcare sector, 'Uncovering Lean' will appeal to those from
healthcare, manufacturing, local government as well as the service
sector - and is now available free as a download for people who sign up
to receive Amnis' email newsletter from
http://www.amnis.uk.com.
As with Eaton's 'hard copy' book, 'Uncovering Lean' focuses on
providing essential basic information on Lean and includes Amnis' top
tips and techniques for Lean. In addition to examples and case studies,
it contains a number of Lean checklists, including how to run Lean
Rapid Improvement Events and Value Stream Mapping Events.
After explaining Lean and the concepts behind this philosophy, the book
provides a four step guide to 'going Lean'. It goes on to describe Lean
at different organisational levels.
Having outlined how to 'think Lean', it concludes by explaining the top
five Lean tools and identifying ten key problems healthcare
organisations experience with going Lean.
Eaton commented: "Both the 'e' and hard copy versions of this book are
part of Amnis' continued commitment to empowering individuals and
organisations to enable them to achieve the highest standards in terms
of quality, innovation, productivity and prevention. We're delighted to
be able to give away copies of the book in our on-going campaign to
promote knowledge dissemination and best practice."
