It was pure survival mode at first. Overcome by stress, Eva Jarlsdotter and her family began using the Japanese Lean method in their home. They saw instant positive results and began working with Lean tools and philosophy systematically, untangling their everyday life and improving family time in the process. Lean@home was born.Today the concept has reached many hundred thousand household.
“My husband and I had experience with Lean from healthcare and business, and our three young children helped out with the change. After less than a year, we saw amazing, astronomical results. We cut our expenses in half; we went from no control to total control, and we have flow in our daily life. Now we can achieve our family’s dreams. Our environmental footprint is one third of what it used to be. The laundry goes ten times faster, and we no longer waste more than one hundred thousand dollars in decluttered living space. These are only a handful of the results we have had since we began,” says Eva Jarlsdotter.
Streams, or processes, is a basic concept of Lean — everything from the dinner stream, recycling stream, homework stream to the morning stream. Every home is full of streams and many of them are messy and time-consuming. And the magic is that you pick the exact streams you need to change.
Free up time, money and energy by working with streams the right way. Create better flow in your home and life by following the simple steps of Lean@Home.
This book immediately hit the bestseller lists when it was first published in Sweden in 2013.
A hands on, DYI concept to better flowing, less frustrating everyday living.
Some reviews about the book from previous edition at Amazon:
“The book has the potential to be a game-changer, even a life-changer. It takes the principles of LEAN manufacturing and applies them to the home - with a Japanese flair of simplicity from which any household can benefit. Too many things, too little time, too much complexity in modern life - all are addressed within the pages of this book, yet without the slightest flavor of industrialism. Swedish style meets Japanese trend, yet it fits perfectly in this American life. Read it!”
“First of all it is not a simple checklist how to organize your home and life. It's a philosophy and a toolbox to be combined for stunning and sustainable results. I think the most fabulous thing is how it changes your way of thinking. When you start to think in streams or processes you can't stop. Thereby a whole new world is opening, with more value and less waste. The book is inspiring and every sentence flow. It takes a couple of hours to read and then you have tools “
“Great beginner book to gain an understanding of the lean manufactures principles. I enjoyed the reading and specifically how the book was structured”
