"Charts, checklists, and an illustrative case study make Improving the Extended Value Stream a practical workbook. It provides detailed descriptions of how to conduct every step. For example, Dolcemascolo does not just suggest that companies map out their current as-is processes. Instead he also explains how to draw a value-stream map and details what information and materials are needed. He then backs up that information with sketches of what that map might look like." — Supply Chain Management Review “Darren Dolcemascolo applies his experiences with lean manufacturing and extends the conversation of the concepts and practice beyond the four walls of the organization. Darren’s book helps pave the path of how to use the extended value stream to compliment the journey that so many companies have started. With today’s global influence, it will be the organizations that extended lean principles to their customers and suppliers who will be around to share the stories.” - Rick Le Blanc, VP of Manufacturing, Wilbur Curtis Company "Darren Dolcemascolo has contributed a comprehensive, practical and readable work to part of the Lean Enterprise that has, with few exceptions, been ignored. Outsourcing is not the cure-all that many companies seem to believe if the suppliers are unsatisfactory or if it is merely a way to compensate for internal incompetence. Darren Dolcemascolo shows how to examine the issues of outsourcing, core competencies and suppliers in a realistic and practical way. This book offers a structured approach that any manufacturer can use effectively." - Quarterman Lee, President of Strategos, Inc. and Author of Facilities and Workplace Design "In Improving the Extended Value Stream, Darren
Dolcemascolo has written in a clear and concise manner, providing realistic
examples in a book that will be a great addition to any Lean library. Definitely
a must read for Lean Champions who want to get the most out of their Lean
implementation." "In workbook form, the book includes tips on how to magnify the benefits of lean on the production floor by extending the principle throughout the enterprise. Most companies have used lean to perfect their internal processes, and this has been very beneficial to the bottom line. Dolcemascolo argues that such limited use restricts the benefits that come from lean’s use across the enterprise. He makes a case for the benefits of lean’s extension—increased profitability, reduced lead times and inventory, and better quality." — Quality Digest
