What is the difference between a lean company and a lean enterprise?
I believe many people use the term "lean enterprise" incorrectly. Womack and Jones make a clear distinction between a lean company and a lean enterprise in their 1994 article: Womack, J. P. and D. T. Jones. 1994. From lean production to the lean enterprise. Harvard Business Review (March-April): 93-103.
