Free Whitepapers, Possibly Helpful — You Decide

by Mark Graban on August 13, 2008 · 1 comment

Through my promotional partner, RevResponse, I am able to offer a number of free white papers. Registering for these white papers brings referral revenue to the Lean Blog, to make that relationship clear. Many of these papers are limited to U.S. and Canada residents, so apologies to the global readers.

I am going to try to read some of these papers myself to see what is worth commenting on. Honestly, I’m normally dubious of white papers that talk about how some software vendor’s solution helps “make you Lean.” But, if you want to give any a try, here are some links, below. Feel free to use the blog comments feature to tell us which are good and which are B.S.

I downloaded –
Strategies to Run a Lean Supply Chain: How Principles of Lean Manufacturing Transfer Benefits to Operations
&
5 Ways ERP Can Help You Implement Lean

I found the info in there, or lack there of, very disappointing.

Both the documents seemed to be targeting people who drank the Kool-Aid, but have no real desire, or understanding on the path they are about to embark on.
Neither article goes into any helpful detail on what the reader is really to do in order to achieve the benefits they promote.
It just seemed like a lot of sales BS.
