Below are details of 3 books that set out how we have helped organisaitons on their improvement journey. They contain the theory, practical tools and case studies of how Lean and TPM principles support the journey to industry leading performance.

Early Equipment Management (EEM): Continuous Improvement for Projects explains how well known and award winning organisations deliver better projects faster. They have learned that when capital projects fail to deliver, it is usually not due to technical reasons but a combination of avoidable people issues. EEM is a process which guides project learning, simplifies decision making and engages users with the goal of achieving flawless operation from day 1.

The word Early in EEM refers to the principle of trapping problems as early as possible in the project process when they are cheapest to resolve. That makes EEM relevant to all projects even those that have passed the early project stages. To support the use of EEM at any project step, each chapter is set out as a standalone topic with cross references to other chapters where relevant.

This book shows readers how and why EEM works so that they can design their own EEM road map to enhance project added value and share lessons learned to create a continuous improvement process for projects.
