Updated with new information, illustrations, and leadership tools, Leading the Lean Enterprise Transformation, Second Edition describes how the metrics used by Toyota drive every line item in a financial statement in the right direction. Rather than focus on Lean tools and principles, the new edition of this bestselling reference focuses on what may be the least understood and most critical aspect of a Lean transformation: the building of a Lean culture. In addition to new appendices with background information and insightful stories on Lean leadership and implementation, it includes new information on tactical organization practices, strategy deployment, and Lean culture. An inductee to IndustryWeek's Hall of Fame, George Koenigsaecker illustrates successful strategies and valuable lessons learned with case histories of U.S. leaders who have been instrumental in bringing Lean to the forefront. He explains the use of value stream analysis at the leadership level and describes how to structure kaizen events that can improve the value stream. Organized in the chronological sequence that a leader embarking on a Lean journey would experience, the book discusses the methods used by the author during the Hon Companys successful Lean conversion, which doubled productivity, tripled revenues, and led IndustryWeek to recognize Hon as one of the "Worlds 100 Best Managed Firms." The book not only introduces powerful leadership toolsincluding strategy deployment, transformation value stream analysis, and transformation plan of carebut also arms potential change agents with the soft skills needed to define, develop, and communicate their vision. Detailing the steps required to sustain improvements, it supplies time-tested guidance for effective leadership throughout a Lean transformation in any organization.

Praise for the Bestselling First Edition: Any senior executive serious about leading a Lean transformation should start here. Koenigsaecker captures well the essence of sustained Lean success, not just the feel-good kaizen event.Larry Culp, president and CEO, Danaher Corporation Koenigsaecker has spent more time transforming more organizations into Lean enterprises than any other CEO. In this brief volume, he summarizes his 30 years of experimentation by describing Lean, showing how to measure it, explaining the role of value stream analysis and kaizen, and providing a tactical and a strategic action plan for Lean transformation.Jim Womack, chairman and founder, Lean Enterprise Institute This truly worked for us, and continues to make our Air Force better. The message comes with great stories and legendary examples to make Leading the Lean Enterprise Transformation readable for all."Michael W. Wynne, 21st Secretary, United States Air Force Koenigsaecker has been one of the most important mentors for me on our Lean journey. His willingness to share his knowledge and experience with the ThedaCare team has been invaluable.John Toussaint, CEO, ThedaCare Center for Healthcare Value Koenigsaeckers long and extensive study and application of Lean at the strategic and tactical levels make him a foremost authority on the topic. He has a unique and valuable grasp of the tools, process and change dynamics at implementing organizational Lean transformation. Stan Askren, chairman, president, and CEO, HNI Corporation Few, if any, American executives can match the variety and depth of experience with Lean transformations of George Koenigsaecker. So it comes as welcome news that George has written a book telling what he has learned and how he learned it. Leading the Lean Enterprise Transformation is simple, useful, packed with information, concise, to-the-point, and easily accessible. It will be a great source for companies looking to begin or advance their Lean initiative or managers at any level wishing to deepen their personal learning. John Shook, founder, The TWI Network George Koenigsaeckers story is an inspirational one. In this book, he captures succinctly over 20 years of wisdom about how to lead Lean transformation. This should be compulsory reading for anyone with a genuine interest in the topic. David Fillingham, chairman and CEO, Royal Bolton Hospital NHS Foundation Trust George Koenigsaecker hits a grand slam with Leading the Lean Enterprise Transformation, and the operative word is leading! A respected practitioner and sensei in the art and science of Lean, George drives home the point that Lean is as natural in the touchy labor arena as it is in the intellectual labor arena and leadership is the key to success in both. George further adds value with his focus on Lean in the context of (public and private sector) corporate governance. This is definitely a must read! A.B. Morrill III, Major General, USAF, Vice Director, Defense Logistics Agency Finally, a hands-on, real-world book written by someone who has actually led several Lean transformations. My only concern is that my competitors get their hands on this book. Peter Desloge, chairman and CEO, Watlow Corporation Koenigsaecker has been my sensei for over seven years. The lessons he has worked to impart are all contained right here . . . a must-read for anyone serious about Lean process improvement. Donald J. Wetekam, group vice president, AAR Corporation, Lieutenant General (retired) USAF George Koenigsaecker has written a wise book that goes beyond an explanation of the tools of Lean to provide keen insights derived from his three decades of experience on the ground as a Lean leader into how executives can deploy Lean principals to build a true learning organization capable of continuous performance improvement. Alan Aviles, president, New York City Health and Hospitals Corporation George mak
