IndustryWeek : Womack Advocates Lean Consumption:
Jim Womack continues the speaking tour to promote the new book:
“‘Lean consumption involves solving customers' problems completely, not wasting their time, providing exactly what the customer wants, in a location they prefer and a timeframe they need. And finally it is helping customers reduce efforts to solve their own set of problems.'”
