RE: high wip
Once you begin to lower WIP, watch for other areas that can come up as problems.
An easy reading book that does a good job of illustrating some basics I think is "The Goal" by Eliyahu Goldratt. It is written as a novel rather than a "text book".
Regards and Good Luck,

Also an overview of Dr. Deming - it really does work better if you do it right the first time. It can be hard to get there, though.
If you can find it get a copy of Sloma's "the Turnaround Manager's Handbook". Maybe the most complete set of analytical tools ever done.
