Lean or Green - do we have to choose?
 Have you seen our "Lean or Green?" advertisement?
According to a 2009 survey by Booz & Co, 40% of businesses expect to delay or slow down their green initiatives due to the economic downturn. We believe these businesses are missing a trick. Our approach to performance improvement retains all the economic advantages of the Lean philosophy AND delivers significant environmental benefits.

March 2009: Staying Lean wins Shingo Prize |

Staying Lean wins prestigious Shingo Prize
 Staying Lean has been awarded a Shingo Prize for Research 2009. The Shingo Research Prize recognises research regarding new knowledge and understanding of manufacturing and operational excellence. The authors of Staying Lean are: Professor Peter Hines and Dr Pauline Found, Cardiff University and Gary Griffiths and Richard Harrison, Managing Consultants, S A Partners.
The book tells the story of how a multi-national organisation successfully implemented and sustained Lean to help turn its financial performance around. The story is based around the Lean Iceberg Model of sustainable change and addresses the often invisible, and hard to copy, enabling elements of successful Lean organisations: Strategy and Alignment, Leadership, Behaviour and Engagement as well as the more visible features: Process Management and the application of Lean Technology, Tools and Techniques.
The book is designed to be used as a practical workbook to guide practitioners along their own Lean journey so that Lean becomes embedded in the organisation and sustains performance improvements over the long term.
To read or download a low resolution pdf copy of the book, register on our website and access "Member Downloads" in the Resource Centre.
We are running several workshops around this publication - for more information visit our events section.
