Lean Modeling for Engineers : DLR Associates Series

The first book in the DLR Associates series, "Lean Modeling for Engineers" is a reference book used in the DLR Associates seminar by the same name. A student uses this book along with seminar materials to complete a three day course in Continuing Education. A CD with diagrams, figures and tables support the book when the student begins to learn what lean models are and how to preform the cost savings involved with this process. The technique of using a lean model in the practice of engineering is a powerful one. The use of a laptop, wireless routing and portability, on and off the job site is absolutely critical as we enter the last ninety years of this century. I would encourage you, the reader, to skip over those chapters that you have already completed in your study of lean productivity analysis. This reference book was completed after fifteen years of consulting and thirty years of teaching at Clemson University. whenever I found a "short cut" or a lean process for engineers, I put it in a large three ring notebook. This publication is the "best of the notebook."
