Toyota Production System Concepts - Lean Cost-Benefit Analysis: Making Smarter Decisions with Less Waste #742126

One of the biggest challenges in Lean is this question: "Where's the financial benefit?"
In many organizations, Lean feels like a set of good practices with unclear payoffs. But at Toyota, Lean principles and financial decision-making go hand in hand — not just for short-term savings, but for long-term strategic advantage.

In this practical and thoughtful guide, Dr. Mohamed H. Soliman explores how to apply Lean Thinking to Cost-Benefit Analysis (CBA) — turning improvement efforts into clear, justifiable business value.

You'll learn:

• Why Lean must be connected to financial thinking to succeed
• How Toyota balances cost, benefit, time, and customer value
• Why short-term ROI can be misleading — and how to think long-term
• How to evaluate Lean projects in ways finance teams can trust
• Real-world cases of Lean initiatives with clear financial impact

Whether you're a Lean practitioner, manager, or financial analyst, this book helps you bridge the gap between Lean execution and financial logic.

Because in the real world, improvement must make sense — and make money.
