Let's build a competitive enterprise (more productivity – less waste): 5 new Italian success stories
The first edition of the volume “Pensare Snello Lean-thinking alla maniera italiana” is sold out.
The three success stories told by Romano Bonfiglioli were the result of practical applications in Italian companies of the waste-reduction criteria of lean thinking, and page after page it was easy to understand that it wasn't “just another theory” but a concrete path to achieve: "within defined times and with verifiable results," explains Romano Bonfiglioli, founder of the consulting firm Bonfiglioli Consulting in Bologna, "both in terms of cost reduction and improvement in efficiency.".
Company by company, case by case, application by application, Romano Bonfiglioli's staff has built a database and with 5 new cases of “successful lean thinking” there was material for a new book... but there was also the need to fulfill the unmet request for the first edition of the volume.
Thus, the updated and expanded edition of ’Thinking Lean: Lean Thinking the Italian Way“ was born.
Bonfiglioli Consulting's experience with the number of concrete applications of Lean Thinking in companies is unique and holds a leading position in Italy: "which is now requested and exported to France, Germany, and England as well," explains Romano Bonfiglioli.
The recipe is simple: “Lean thinking,” Bonfiglioli concludes, "is a true cultural revolution that produces astonishing results if done rigorously, that is, by applying the principles 'to the letter.' You don't get results if you compromise, if you tolerate halfway projects to avoid dealing with difficult situations, to avoid displeasing this person or that.".
This is the only way to reduce delivery times for the 70% and beyond, as well as inventory and scrap for the 60%, and the space used for warehousing, and so on—all the way to the results achieved by companies that have implemented Lean Thinking in the Italian style pioneered by Romano Bonfiglioli.
The new volume guides managers and entrepreneurs in the pursuit of operational efficiency. The read becomes a true operational “manual” to be revisited, not only for comparing achieved results but also for finding the correct analytical keys when facing the inevitable difficulties that accompany any significant change in Italian companies.
