Oriel Inc. recently published “Achieving Lean Success: A Pathway for Implementation,” which unites lean concepts with specific tools and techniques in a manner designed to make it easy to implement lean throughout an organization.

The paper includes an “Ask an Expert” feature that’s available on the company’s Web site.

“Our lean pathway model is based on our experience working with many lean experts in a variety of industries and situations,” says Dana Ginn, Oriel’s process owner of new products and services, and a co-author of the paper. “We saw a need in our clients and in the marketplace for a systematic method to support lean implementation, and with the help of co-author Lynda Finn, we are excited to introduce this easy-to-follow model.”

Oriel offers consulting and training services, and published The Team Handbook Third Edition (Joiner/Oriel Inc., 2003), which has sold more than a million copies. For more information, visit www.orielinc.com/press.20061016.cfm.
