Transitioning to a Lean Enterprise: A Guide for Leaders, Volume II, Transition-to-Lean Roadmap

Abstract

Volume II of this guide is a standalone reference model for assisting lean change agents and lean implementation teams in transforming the enterprise to a lean state. It is also of value to enterprise leaders and senior managers who wish to gain a better understanding of the overall transformation process. We assume that the reader of Volume II is familiar with the history and general principles of the lean paradigm. We refer those who are not, or who would like to refamiliarize themselves with lean, to Volume I, Executive Overview. Volume III, Roadmap Explorations is available for those readers who wish to acquire a deeper understanding of the several elements of the lean transformation process.
