Lean organization, management by process and performance measurement

Shows how the pursuit of excellence and the organizational change required by lean production leads to a management‐by‐process organization, and that management by process influences the performance measurement system (PMS). Uses Zanussi‐Electrolux ‐ the biggest European producer of domestic appliances ‐ as a case study example. Provides a detailed analysis of the organizational change and its effects on performance measurement.
