Cómo implementar Lean Manufacturing

I am writing this book for several reasons.

First, I have been asked to. On numerous occasions, clients have asked me to write a book. The first time was on the subject of measurement system analysis (MSA); the second on statistical process control (SPC); the third time on statistical problem solving—and in the past five years I have been asked on no less than three occasions to condense my thoughts on Lean Manufacturing into book form. Writing a book is also something I have wanted to do, but just never had the time to do so. However, in the end, it was other reasons (which I later list in this chapter) that drove me to the effort.

Second, I am very tired of seeing managers everywhere looking for this “silver bullet” called Lean

Manufacturing. They see it as a catch-all for attacking all their business woes—including poor profitability and low levels of competitiveness—and transforming their business into the pinnacle of profitability. I want to stand up and yell at the top of my lungs and make it very clear that there is no silver bullet. In this regard, I now offer up three quotes here. Third, as a consultant I frequently find myself quite frustrated in being unable to sell Lean Manufacturing to a facility that desperately needs it. Maybe this book can put my thoughts into a clear and convincing format that I am unable to otherwise convey.
