There is currently a great concern for competitiveness in the business world, especially due to competition from countries with low wage levels and other costs linked to the location of productive activity.

However, it is increasingly known to what extent efficiency and competitiveness can be improved through lean management. Currently, there is a great deal of accumulated experience about the capacity of this management approach of industrial and service operations, to achieve a production of the highest quality, at the lowest cost, delivered quickly and without requiring any stock.

This book exposes the evolution from conventional processes to a lean implementation, and how this generates a great improvement in competitiveness if it is carried out correctly and the flow of activities towards the client is duly "compressed".
