"Lean Distribution is a comprehensive yet concise work
with clear leanings. Kirk's experience across a range of industries
brings a unique understanding of common opportunities and solutions
available to optimize distribution processes. Lean techniques,
typically effective in manufacturing processes, are applied in the
downstream supply chain in a practical and productive manner that
will offer something to any business distributing tangible
goods."
—F. Jeff Duncan Jr. VP, CIO, and Director of Technology
Louisiana Pacific Corp.
"Lean Distribution has robustly captured the revolution
occurring in today's increasingly competitive and global supply
chain. Eliminating losses through lean manufacturing and lean
distribution initiatives will become even more critical enablers to
organizations developing cost-advantaged supply chains."
