LEV Book | View Table of Contents | Reviews

"MIT's Lean Aerospace Initiative is a definitive study on the core challenge to the aerospace industry in the 21st century - delivering value to every stakeholder. It should be read - and acted on - by every aerospace executive. But not just by them, since its principles apply to all enterprises."

Dr. William J. Perry
Co-Director, Preventive Defense Project, Stanford University, and US Secretary of Defense 1994-6

"The US aerospace industry has restructured what it is...now it must restructure what it does...and how it does it. This book, written by a superbly qualified group of experts from MIT, can do for aerospace - and many other industries - what The Machine That Changed the World did for the automotive industry."

Norman Augustine
Retired Chairman and CEO, Lockheed Martin Corporation

Lean Enterprise Value provides the best account yet of how organizations can apply lean thinking to create value, eliminate waste and grow the enterprise. All organizations, particularly those in the aerospace industry, will benefit from reading, understanding, and acting on the lessons in this book."

Tom Buffenbarger
International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers

"A 'must-read' if you want to be a part of the second century of powered flight. But this book is about more than just aerospace. It sets forth principles of efficient delivery of value to stakeholders that underlie success in any enterprise."

David Marshall
Director General, Society of British Aerospace Companies

"In my view it is mandatory reading for any aerospace leader and those in other industrial sectors, whether part of top management, the engineering, human resources, or financial service cadres."
