LEAN MANAGEMENT PRACTICES Benefits, Implementation, Trends Management Method and its Application

Description

Ever since the semester Pattern is introduced in the Educational system for post graduate courses, it is the need of the day to prepare the text books which should be handy and readable by the students within a limited span of time. These books, with their reprints, on Lean Management Practices written by most of the American and Indian authors, through praiseworthy, could not cater to the real needs of the MBA, PGDBM, and PGDMLM students, appearing for the semester examinations these books are fat and bulky in nature and difficult to understand. The author of this book felt that in many books the updated information is conspicuously missing. One senior professor labelled these books as ‗Load of Wisdom‘.

The senior author, being in the teaching profession for more than five decades, strongly believes that a teacher is supposed to teach concept in depth rather than focusing on completion of the syllabus. With this objective in mind, this book has explained a number of key concepts of Lean Management Practices with updated references and opened a new door for the students to think ahead with the applications of these concepts. The author believes that the students of MBA, PGDBM, and PGDMLM will be benefited by this approach and prepare themselves well, not only for the examination but also for the placement interview.

Author have been teaching Operations and Supply Chain Management for a number of years, knowing the student‘s needs. This has contributed a lot in preparing the draft of this book. However, this is a maiden attempt and I, therefore, would be keen to receive the comments and the suggestion from the students and teachers of Lean Management Practices.
