Lean manufacturing is a production process based on an ideology of maximizing productivity while simultaneously minimizing waste within a manufacturing operation.

Lean Principles see waste as anything that doesn't add value that the customers are willing to pay for. Lean manufacturing maximizes productivity, minimizes waste, improves quality, and enhances customer satisfaction, ultimately leading to cost savings and competitive advantage. Through interviews with the president of a manufacturing company, this book relates the journey of learning and growth as shared through storytelling, reflecting, and releasing tested wisdom. By fostering a culture of continuous improvement, this Great Lean Leader unfolds the truths for how his organization got to sustainable success— and continues the relentless pursuit of value creation. As part of the Great Lean Leaders series, this book is designed to provide several reference points for reading and learning about the what's, why's and how's of Lean Leadership. The chapters are realistic and represent stories shared with authenticity and transparency based on two interviews of the Great Lean Leader. The book has five sections: an overview of the interview, a referenced section of six Lean Leadership strategies and tactics with nine benefits, a summary of observed Lean Leadership competencies, transcripts and links to the interviews and a final summary chapter from a Great Lean Leaders group panel session. Descriptions of Lean thinking and Lean tools are placed throughout the book to add relevance and expand the reader's knowledge of Lean methodologies.
