Join serial startup founder Dr. Natan Linder and futurist podcaster Dr. Trond Arne Undheim on an urgent and insightful exploration of how to facilitate agile processes within a millennial workforce that already embraces many of its principles. The book showcases how to abandon outdated industrial technology that hinders operational excellence and digital progress. As executive and leaders, we must resist the allure of hyped-up notions of industry 4.0's factory of the future, where automation, artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, sensors, digital twins, and augmented reality are purported to solve every problem. Instead, we must prioritize the development of cyber-physical technologies that keep humans at the center, reducing cognitive load, complexity, and frustrations in the workplace.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTo achieve this, leaders must ensure that the technology deployed at an industrial scale offers fluid interfaces that simplify work and enhance operational flexibility without instilling fear, uncertainty, or doubt. The authors provide a step-by-step walkthrough of the Augmented Lean framework, guiding readers on when, how, and why to augment their workforce through cyber-physical principles that extend beyond both Lean and Agile management practices. Through real-world case studies of operators in the manufacturing trenches, they offer concrete strategies for scaling these operational augmentation methods across organizations. Additionally, insightful advice is provided for small- and medium-sized enterprises seeking to leverage the augmentation framework to drive efficiency and growth.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBy embracing this forward-thinking approach, we can unlock the full potential of the workforce and pave the way for a prosperous and sustainable future. So, let us embark on this transformative journey and embrace the Augmented Lean framework as a catalyst for operational excellence and digital progress.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 748g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 252 x 154 x 29 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781119906001\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"N Linder","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44105970516218,"sku":"9781119906001","price":15.36,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1666363550960_book.jpg?v=1666424484","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/augmented-lean-a-humancentric-framework-for-managing-frontline-operations-9781119906001","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
