(GBMP: Boston) -- GBMP Inc. has released The e2 Continuous Improvement System: Managing and Sustaining Your Lean Transformation through the e2 “Everybody, Everyday” Approach (GBMP, 2011). The book details GBMP’s “lean-by-doing” process that uses continuous improvement to unlock readers’ intellects and creativity.

According to co-author Bruce Hamilton, “e2 is a holistic approach to understanding and implementing lean thinking in every department and level of an organization—from the executive suite to the shop floor,” says co-author Bruce Hamilton. “Regrettably, 40 years after the introduction of Toyota’s powerful production system, the foundation of what we today call lean or continuous improvement—most businesses misunderstand it, applying it piecemeal. To most companies, lean is thought to be a cost-cutting tool."

The e2 continuous improvement system aims to change that thinking by presenting the system in a learn-and-do format to help companies deploy the whole system and receive the full benefits.
