Lean Administration : Case Studies in Leadership and Improvement

Basic Laboratory and Industrial Chemicals presents data on 1,000 high-profile chemical substances commonly used in the laboratory and workplace. A wide range of properties is provided for each compound, including the basic physical properties, such as melting point, boiling point, and critical temperatures; density; transition properties, such as vapor pressure and heats of vaporization and fusion; and the thermodynamic properties, viscosity, and thermal conductivity at 25 C. Molecular properties such as dipole moment and ionization potential are also included. Tables appear in alphabetical order by chemical name, and all data are taken from evaluated sources. This book eliminates the need to consult voluminous sources for frequently needed data on the most common chemicals, making it an essential reference for all scientists, engineers, and students.

AME''s Target Magazine has a well-established reputation for detailed case studies of companies adopting lean strategies. These case studies are now available in a well-organized Enterprise Excellence Series, to tap the ongoing desire for information about what other companies are doing to implement lean.

To satisfy the growing interest in applying lean to non-manufacturing operations, this first volume of the series covers the implementation of lean to administrative and office applications.

Highlights include:

Practical, in-depth description of lean office implementations, most of which have not been described in other publications.

Responds to reader desire for real-world lean office information.

Case Studies are categorized in three areas: Leadership, Organization and Training; Improving Processes; and Lean in Healthcare, making it easy to track down the type of information desired.
