Around 90 percent of manufacturing businesses are classed as SME’s yet almost all the literature about Lean is targeted at big businesses. The few books aimed at SMEs focus on Lean tools and techniques and how these can be adapted to smaller businesses. Tim Mclean’s book takes a different approach. Tim calls on his 25 years of experience managing and improving over 100 SME manufacturing businesses. Tim focuses on the problems he sees over and again in SME manufacturers and presents practical solutions, backed up by case studies showing how these problems can be overcome using Lean principles.
