Lean Thinking | Lean Thinking at the Italian Manner

The first edition of the volume “Lean-thinking the Italian way” sold out.
The three success stories recounted by Romano Bonfiglioli were the result of practical applications in Italian companies of the waste-cutting criteria of lean thinking, and page after page it was easy to see that this was not “yet another theory” but a concrete way forward: ""within defined timeframes and with verifiable results,"" explained Romano Bonfiglioli, founder of the Bologna-based consulting firm Bonfiglioli Consulting - ""both in terms of cost cutting and improvement in efficiency."

Company after company, case after case, application after application Romano Bonfiglioli's staff built a database and with 5 new cases of “successful lean thinking” there was material for a new book ... but there was also unmet demand on the first edition of the volume.
Thus the updated and expanded edition of "Lean-thinking the Italian way" was born.
By number of concrete in-company applications of lean thinking that of Bonfiglioli Consulting is a unique experience that is worth a record in Italy: ''which is now also being requested and exported to France, Germany and England,'' explains Romano Bonfiglioli.
The recipe is simple: ''Lean thinking,'' Bonfiglioli concludes, ''is a true cultural revolution that produces stunning results if done rigorously, that is, applying the principles 'to the letter.' You don't get results if you make compromises, if you tolerate half-baked projects in order not to deal with difficult situations, in order not to displease this and that''.
This is the only way to reduce lead times on the 70% and more, the same for inventory and waste on the 60%, and again the space used for warehousing, and on and on until the results achieved in companies that have tested lean thinking the Italian way of Romano Bonfiglioli.
The new volume takes managers and entrepreneurs by the hand into the world of the quest for management efficiency, and the reading becomes a real operational "manual" to be read and reread in order to compare the results obtained but also to find correct keys of analysis when the inevitable difficulties that accompany any real change in Italian companies arise.
