The book “In Search of Gold. A Novel of a Way Out of the Crisis Through Lean” presents all the key lean principles, ranging from well-known ideas such as pull and flow, kanban or 5S, to lesser-known but no less important tools such as jidoka and heizunka.
About the book
The authors of this book are some of the most famous lean consultants in the automotive industry.
They deftly combine the technical and human aspects of the lean transformation of a production that was on the verge of bankruptcy. Will the company’s managers have the courage and leadership qualities? Are they ready to look their mess in the eye and admit it?
These discoveries keep you awake at night. They worry the main characters of the novel, forcing them to make difficult decisions.
Complex processes are described in a light, friendly manner. Tense communication is combined with humor and sympathy. You experience the company’s transformation and sincerely root for the team of brave entrepreneurs. Perhaps lean books have never been so generous with emotions and details!
“This book is a wonderful analogue of Eliyahu Goldratt’s “The Goal” in lean optimization,” — Serhiy Komberyanov, President of Lean Institute Ukraine.
