It was a broad corporate call to action in an era with no Internet, elongated supply chains, multicultural, multilingual, cross-generational work teams, or multiple time zones. It was to ensure that products would be better, work-related accidents down, and profits larger if people did not make mistakes. Today with the kaleidoscope of disruptive forces in business transactions, the speed of commerce and the ferocious level of competition for consumer loyalty and business survival--the cost of an enterprise's faulty communication can literally make or break a brand or product. There is now more than ever the urgency that how people connect to each other to move business forward must be foolproof.Supply and operations management collection.2156-8200Communication in managementLean manufacturingElectronic books.global teamslean communicationlean leadershiplean manufacturinglean supply chainsupply chainCommunication in management.Lean manufacturing.658.45Yankelevitch Sam.975475Kuhl Claire F.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910460919003321Lean communication2221230UNINA
