Unfortunately, during the publishing process mistakes can be made that are not caught before the book is printed. Productivity Press takes great care to catch any errors prior to the printing stage. If any errors are found that have an effect on the understanding of a subject or mathematical equation, we have published them here.
The methods and concepts presented in the bestselling first edition revolutionized the approach to the management and control of Lean companies. Enhanced with extensive end-of-chapter exercises and a CD with Lean accounting tools, the second edition of this preeminent practitioners guide is now suitable for classroom use.

"A no nonsense approach to bringing continuous improvement to areas of the company not normally involved in the typical Lean implementation. Following the authors guidelines has allowed us to create an entirely new way of looking at our companys performance and has exposed many more opportunities for improvement that we never knew existed."
Mr.Roy St. Andre, Executive Vice President, EIS Wire & Cable Co
