LeanBlog Podcast #12 brings us a special guest, James P. Womack of the

Lean Enterprise Institute, the author of many books including the

classic (published 10 years ago) Lean Thinking and the more recent

Lean Solutions. We ended up talking for about 40 minutes, so I'm

going to split the discussion into two podcasts. In this first part,

we focus more on China's adoption (or lack of adoption) of lean

practices. In the second podcast, Jim talks more about general trends

for China and for those considering doing business in China. Please
