  The concepts that form the fundamental principles of Lean were initially developed by Taiichi Ohno in the creation of the venerated Toyota Production System (TPS). Ohno employed techniques such as jidoka (intelligent automation), Just-in-Time manufacturing, Kanban (visual ordering systems), kaizen (continuous improvement), and Heijunka (production balancing) to revolutionize production in Toyota’s vehicle manufacturing plants. In his book, The Machine that Changed the World, James Womack christened the TPS a Lean system and the term has since been used to describe any manufacturing or operating system that utilizes a similar methodology. Lean helped Toyota race ahead of GM to take the top-spot in global vehicle manufacture, and it has since laid the foundation for phenomenal success in myriad companies and organizations. Lean is extremely versatile, as can be seen in the profound effect it has had on the success of organizations in wide-ranging sectors of business: from manufacture to government administration. This versatility does not end with the overhaul of company cultures and production systems in different industry sectors. Lean can be adapted and utilized on a much smaller scale: project management.

  GREAT Processes - How to make...

  “John’s off this week and nobody knows how to do the ….. “  
  “That customer’s on the phone. We forgot to do the …. again.”  
  “No matter how many times I tell them, we still can’t do the …. right.”  
  SOUND FAMILIAR? 
  For most of us this is “normal” within the workplace. These are the typical problems that mean we are firefighting on a daily basis and these are the things that drain everyone’s energy, making work HARD. 
  It does not have to be like this. There is a better way. 
  You could decide to have G.R.E.A.T. processes. When you have those, these kind of problems perhaps don’t go away completely, but they can be dramatically reduced. Everyone can have an easier life, with less stress, wasted effort and better outcomes for employees, the business and it’s customers. 
  So the big question you probably have is “well how do we make that happen?” Firstly, I can tell you what the answer is not. It’s not that we can wave a magic wand enabling you to find “perfect people” who know how to do everything and produce the perfect outcome every time. 
  The answer really lies in developing “G.R.E.A.T. Processes,” that effectively help ordinary people become more “perfect,” which I suppose is “a kind of magic” and this book is going to explain how to do that.

  The story behind the man who mastered survival—on the battlefield and within himself. 
  Before Drownproof became a guide to discipline, leadership, and resilience, there was a harder truth—one built in pressure, tested in war, and shaped by battles no one ever saw. 
  In this gripping narrative biography, readers are taken beyond the lessons and into the life of Andy Stumpf. From the relentless demands of Navy SEAL training to the unforgiving realities of combat, this book reveals the cost behind the mindset. It explores the moments that don’t make it into the spotlight—the internal struggles, the breaking points, and the quiet decisions that define whether a person moves forward or falls behind. 
  This is not a retelling of success. 
  It is an examination of what it takes to build it. 
  Through a powerful, scene-driven narrative, The Story Behind the Survival Code breaks down the real foundation of resilience—control under pressure, discipline without compromise, and the ability to operate when conditions are far from ideal. It connects the principles of Drownproof to the lived experiences that forged them, offering readers a deeper understanding of what it truly means to stay above water. 
  Inside this biography, you will discover: 
  The untold journey behind Drownproof and the mindset that shaped it 
  The reality of elite military training and the pressure that defines it 
  The unseen battles of identity, transition, and purpose after war 
  The core principles of survival, discipline, and execution under stress 
  A raw, honest look at resilience—beyond theory, beyond motivation 
  For readers of Drownproof, Jocko Willink, and David Goggins, this book delivers something different: 
  Not just the lessons— 
  But the life that made them necessary. 
  Because staying above water isn’t luck. 
   It’s built.
