Streamlined: 14 Principles for Building & Managing the Lean Supply Chain,   ISBN:9780324232776

Customer Rating: 

This book communicates the principles of Lean very effectively, introducing the topic of "Lean" to those unfamiliar with it, as well as educating Lean experts on aspects of Lean that may be new to them. Coming from a sales background, and having no former supply chain experience, I found parts of the book extremely easy to read and understandable. I would recommend "Streamlined" to managers wishing to implement Lean as well as professors desiring to teach Lean concepts to their students. Those involved in service or manufacturing environments will benefit greatly from this book.

I've been reading a fair number of these over the past few months. Maybe it"s because I'm finally beginning to understand, but this most recent read is definitely the most complete, straightforward and readable analysis of the application of Lean to Supply Chain Management that I have come across.

And this is a European speaking!!

I am the Corporate Lean Champion for a global manufacturing company. I had heard of the bullwhip effect but did not thoroughly understand it before reading "the book" as I refer to it when recommending it to my Lean students. Streamlined helped me to put a plan together utilizing rate based planning, Lean variation reduction tools, and pull protocols to Crack the Bullwhip effect and drive it out of our organization!

Streamlined is a "must read" for any Lean practitioner, operations Leader, supply chain leader ot MBA student.

I actually got the opportunity to study under Srini and can verify his expertise in this field. I picked up more than a few great ideas in this book that I hadn't seen in the many books I have read on the subject. I would recommend this book to students, managers, and specialist at all experience levels.
