The book demonstrates how to abandon legacy industrial technology that is failing modern operations and hindering operational excellence and digital progress. As an executive and leader, you cannot fall prey to hyped-up notions of industry 4.0's factory of the future automation, artificial intelligence, internet of things, sensors, digital twins, and augmented reality fixing every problem. Instead, to truly reduce cognitive load, complexity, and frustrations in the workplace, we must build cyber-physical technologies so that humans remain at the center. Leaders must ensure that the technology they deploy at an industrial scale has fluid interfaces that demonstrably simplifies work and makes operations more flexible without introducing fear, uncertainty, or doubt.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe authors provide:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eA step-by-step walkthrough of the \u003ci\u003eAugmented Lean\u003c\/i\u003e framework that shows readers when, how, and why to augment your workforce through cyber-physical principles that go beyond both Lean and Agile management practices\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eConcrete strategies on how to scale these operational augmentation methods throughout your organization based on real-world case studies of operators in the trenches of manufacturing whose impact far outweighs their seniority in the corporate hierarchy\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eInsightful advice for how to use the augmentation framework in small- and medium-sized enterprises where license and training costs are prohibitive when only using off-the-shelf industry 4.0 approaches\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eA thoroughly practical playbook for augmenting your workforce with the latest cyber-physical adaptations to digital technologies, \u003ci\u003eAugmented Lean\u003c\/i\u003e provides you with the organizational-, process-, and management-level techniques you need to get the most out of your employees.
