Lean Energy Audits Rethinking Common Management Practices of Multi-Building Energy Audits

摘要

In their groundbreaking book Lean Thinking, James P. Womack and Daniel T. Jones outlined the lean manufacturing process that significantly impacted the manufacturing world. The book denounced as wasteful the traditional manufacturing method of batch processing in which each piece of an assembly was made one at a time and later assembled as a whole. This revolutionary concept of lean processes isn't exclusive to the manufacturing realm. There are valuable lessons about streamlining and reducing wasted effort that can be applied to many types of processes.
