Authored the Shingo Prize-winning book, "Kaizen Event Fieldbook: Foundation, Framework and Standard Work for Effective Events. The foreword was written by Art Byrne, retired Chairman, President and CEO of the Wiremold Company. The Fieldbook is available from the publisher, Society of Manufacturing Engineers, and others, including Amazon. About the book:Kaizen event effectiveness is a prerequisite for lean transformation success. It provides the necessary transformational jump-start, momentum, organizational learning and engagement, and sustainable, step-function improvements. The systemic use of kaizen events establishes the technical and cultural foundation for principle-driven kaizen—the powerful combination of kaizen events and daily kaizen activities. The Kaizen Event Fieldbook brings this all together as an indispensable reference for lean leaders and implementers within any industry and for use at any stage within the lean implementation journey. In context with lean theory and lean leadership principles, readers will gain an understanding of the essential “whys” and “hows” of kaizen event standard work and event management, as well as a proven means to sustain the gains. The Fieldbook’s multi-phase approach addresses strategy, pre-event planning, execution, and follow-through. Practical examples, over a hundred figures and tables, and many real-life “Gemba Tales” provide for an enriched learning experience. Also included is a chapter on the deployment of a kaizen promotion office, a glossary, and two appendices, which offer blank forms and an overview of daily kaizen.One of a dozen reviewer comments:“A critical distinction from other texts on the market, the Fieldbook links the technical aspects of kaizen to lean philosophy. Kaizen is the game changer in any lean transformation, and this is the game book.” —Bruce Hamilton, President, Greater Boston Manufacturing Partnership

Lean Math Blog is a weblog for the purpose of helping lean thinkers conduct math-assisted kaizen. There are practical explanations, formulas, and examples in eight categories: 1) systems, 2) time, 3) "ilities" (stability, reliability, availability, quality, etc.), 4) work (load, capacity, efficiency, and productivity), 5) inventory and replenishment, 6) performance metrics, 7) basic math and hypothesis testing, and 8) measurement and experimentation.

“Gemba Tales” is borrowed from Mark Hamel’s book, Kaizen Event Fieldbook: Foundation, Framework, and Standard Work for Effective Events. There are 39 Tales within the Fieldbook, all based upon the experiences (some successful, some not) of the author and other lean practitioners and shared for the purpose of providing insight into the application of certain lean concepts. The purpose of the blog is really no different, just a bigger community for sharing and learning.
