The Portal to Lean Production: Principles and Practices for Doing More with Less describes the steps, difficulties, and rewards of implementing Lean Production. The book moves beyond concepts to address practical matters. The goal of the authors is to provide enough information for you to set out and begin implementing Lean within your organization. This book applies a model-the Portal to Lean Production-to illustrate the principles and practices of lean production. The model reappears at the start of every chapter and serves to connect the concepts of each chapter with those in other chapters, and with basic Lean principles.
