'How do I improve communication between the different departments in this company?'
'How do I get all staff involved in process improvement?'
'How do I maximise the productivity and profit margins of this business?'
These are the types of questions that Gus Pereira, a production manager at AutoSit, asks himself on a daily basis. He believes the answers lie in adopting Lean Management techniques and integrating them throughout the entire company. But Gus knows that the techniques alone are not enough, everyone needs to think 'slim' for success to be guaranteed.
Follow Gus on his journey as he drives the culture change in Autosit. Learn from his experiences and draw on his knowledge to turn your own company into a slim one.
Marta Ferreira has created the character of Gus Pereira to illustrate the fundamentals of slim thinking. Based on the concepts of the Toyota Production System and Lean Principles, her business novel both teaches and engages the reader.
'This book is a powerful tool to spark management imagination on the potential of lean thinking.'
Oliver Hatch, National Continuous Improvement Specialist, Smorgon Steel
‘A great introduction for busy managers and supervisors; Marta Ferreira reminds us all that the engagement of people at all levels in the organisation remains at the heart of the performance that is derived from slim thinking, and its associated tools & techniques’
