The Guide to Lean is a practical and easy-to-understand guide to Lean thinking. You will learn how Lean principles and Lean tools can help you work smarter and create more value with fewer resources. Here, you will discover the most important Lean tools that enable you to make more time for what you are really good at.

This book shows you how to achieve everything in half the time – without stress, but with smarter workflows. The tools originally come from people on the shop floor in the car industry, who found ways to produce using the fewest possible resources. Today, we call it Lean, and the principles can be used in all sectors – from production and services to administration and private life.

The Guide to  Lean is filled with concrete examples and practical exercises, making it easy to turn theory into action. It is based on more than 15 years of experience in teaching and consulting in Lean and brings together all the essential tools in one place. It is the ideal “Do it yourself” book – equally useful at work, at home, or when you want to develop new ideas.

The book can be read from cover to cover as a cohesive introduction – or used as a reference work when you just need to refresh your memory: “how was it done again?”
