Transforming an Organization
Summary: A Successful Lean Journey
CREATES
A strategic advantage in key enterprise wide value streams
BY DELIVERING
PERFORMANCE (world class by the numbers- (P&L)
CULTURE (thriving improvement focused organizations)
ACCOMPLISHED THROUGH
CYCLES OF IMPROVEMENT
USING PROVEN TOOLS (Toyota system roots)
USING PROVEN TECHNIQUES (Simpler Business System)
THAT HELP IDENTIFY AND ELIMINATE PROCESS WASTE
WHILE GENERATING PAY-AS-YOU-GO RESULTS (3 to 4 fold return or leaders lose interest)
Lean should be viewed as a strategy enabler versus a series of tools or activities!!!
