Book Description
In this book is everything we know about Kaizen, an amazing system to empower all employees to make their work easier, more interesting and to become personally responsible to build their own skills and capabilities. We want people to be excited when they get up to go to work. We want to help all managers to know how to lead this process.
Dan O’Malley, VP at Gulfstream, every Wednesday walks his plant floor and asks five to ten of his associates to show him and his leadership team one of their creative ideas. Just look into the face of each employee to see what this means to them! The result: over 40 implemented ideas per employee per year (over 40,000 in 2009,) millions of dollars in cost savings, higher quality and safety and turnover virtually gone. We do hope that every organization will start or expand their Kaizen system.
Praise for the Book
“I love this book and can’t wait for it to come out. He brought Lean to America and continues to bring golden ideas to America through his contacts in Japan. This is truly a breakthrough idea!" – Steven Hatch, Lean Specialist
“This a timely book on a topic of great importance in these difficult times. The concepts in it will not only help you survive the recession, but emerge from it stronger. If you implement a high-performing idea system, like those described in the book, it will raise your organizations performance to a new level, one that would have been impossible to reach before. I have always admired both of the authors of this book because they have always been just enough ahead of their time to be agents of significant positive change.” - Alan G. Robinson, Professor, University of Massachusetts and co-author of Ideas Are Free
