Until now, Lean thinking has been narrowly focused on physical processes, causing serious shortcomings and failures in obtaining Lean benefits. Lean Performance ERP Project Management integrates strategy, people, process, and information technology into a project management methodology that applies Lean thinking to all processes. It uses Lean principles, tools, and practices to improve and then continuously improve management decision processes, information/support processes, and their linkages to Lean physical processes. It allows you to start with your existing process, and then develop process performance improvements and measurements.

If you're tired of information technology project failures or poor results, and all the "after project" rework, Lean Performance ERP Project Management will be a breath of fresh air. It helps you achieve system integration and provides an on-going Continuous Improvement tool after implementation. By showing you how to develop and utilize process workflow standards, it provides you with a road map to successful Lean Transformation.

Lean Performance is the product of the trial and error project applications of many business process and performance improvement methodologies, based on the author's considerable practical management and consulting experience. When you recognize the strength of the business, i.e. people and processes, you can enhance your company culture of continuous improvement.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Resource, February 9, 2008
The situation in the manufacturing industry in the United States in 2008 is as follows: All surviving US manufacturing companies are implementing or planning on implementing lean manufacturing principles and practices. All successful US manufacturing companies are doing or have done extensive lean manufacturing implementations. At the same time ERP systems remain as the backbone of the business enterprise integrating all the business functions within the organization. Manufacturing, accounting, sales, human resources, in fact all business function share this same powerful database.

Brian Carroll's 2nd edition of "Lean Performance ERP Project Management - Implementing the Virtual Lean Enterprise" provides management and operations practitioners with an excellent guide and reference as to how these two powerful systems and tools can be combined to achieve the productivity gains that companies are seeking. The book includes a history and evolution of lean manufacturing and an overview of lean principles and tools. Included also is a step-by-step guide for the project manager to apply these lean principles and practices while at the same time getting the full benefit of the power of an ERP system.

I can tell you from personal experience that these tools work. Having used Brian's methodology within my own organization we were able to achieve significant improvements in business processes and achieve our performance improvement goals of reduced cost, reduced cycle time, improved delivery performance, and the elimination of defects. I know that this book can also be a great resource for you company's improvement projects.
