Save Big!: Secrets of Large Corporations Easily Applicable for Small and Medium Business

Today we stand on the brink of the largest crisis. What to do? How to preserve and develop a business that has become your beloved creation? Where to find resources? Where are the hidden opportunities? Large corporations in Russia have been implementing lean manufacturing tools since the 2000s and finding new opportunities for savings and efficiency. Implementing these tools requires a team of professionals focused on specific knowledge of Toyota's production system technologies. This requires investments in hiring a team and inviting consultants. The author of the book knows how to implement the secret tools without financial costs. This book describes four tools from the lean manufacturing toolkit: the 5S system, SOPs, gemba, and visualization boards. The author provides a step-by-step guide for mastering and using them independently; reveals the pitfalls that one might encounter during implementation; indicates problems that can be solved with these tools. Lean manufacturing is a system recognized by the global community, but it is not sufficiently accessible in Russia for small and medium business entrepreneurs. The author wants the knowledge of popular and easy-to-apply tools to be available to every entrepreneur, enabling them to be even more successful and effective.
