Most companies approach lean as a cost reduction program. Although they may achieve some short-term gains, the gains are a fraction of what they could be and generally are not long lasting. However, those companies that recognize lean as a complete strategy achieve competitive advantages that yield substantial financial gains.

Orry led Wiremold’s conversion to lean accounting in 1991 and went on to install lean accounting at more than 20 Wiremold acquisitions.
