Summary
The Cambridge International Handbook of Lean Production provides an overall argument that lean systems are the dominant division of labor in the world, which are spreading in diverse ways to the service industries and around the world. Whether you think lean is great or not, it is the overwhelming influence on the world-wide division of labor. Further, this Handbook examines the many sides of the lean production debate that rarely interact.

Consequently, this Handbook focuses on three major parts:The result is an international Handbook that is a comprehensive interdisciplinary examination of the future of the world of work and management in our global economy.
