Design for Operational Excellenceis a blueprint for a joined up, end-to-end designed operation that makes Operational Excellence a reality.

Kevin Duggans emphasis on creating standard work for abnormal flow hits one of the biggest gaps in most continuous improvement initiatives. This book will change the way that you think about continuous improvement and the case studies will demonstrate that it works.
