Book ID/图书代码： 00431008B22517
English Summary/英文概要： Going Lean sets aside the notion that efficient operations and powerful innovations are only possible when business is steady and demand is growing. Instead, companies must learn that sudden shifts or unpredictable conditions need not undermine their results. Led by a new breed of companies -Toyota, Wal-Mart, and Southwest Airlines--a powerful, yet unexpected mindset is reshaping the rules for business competitiveness. By using Lean Dynamics (tm)--based on the now-famous Toyota Production System--companies everywhere can thrive in virtually any environment. In Going Lean, readers will learn how to: become broadly effective in creating and sustaining value * set a critical foundation for achieving sustained excellence * identify sources of lag and create robust value streams that thrive in today’s dynamic conditions * describe the underlying techniques to maintain steady and predictable flow * create a system based on "pull," or external demand that consistently introduces new innovation even during severe downturns * strive for perfection * deliver industry-leading returns
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 《Going Lean》引用豐田、沃爾瑪和西南航空等全球知名企業為案例，展示不同產業如何戰勝詭譎多難的經營環境，從而打造企業和顧客的雙高價值。

不論產業與規模都可應用Lean Manufacturing Principles，達到精瘦目的。讀者透過閱讀此書，亦可學會如何分辨哪些企業真的有在『精實瘦身』。(KC)
