Lean Management
Many organisations see Lean as a toolbox people can use to increase efficiency and effectiveness. This is not the full story. Lean is not only a toolbox but a management philosophy. It implies that organisations should also focus on creating a Lean management system.
Building a Lean management system involves
- Practicing the Voice of Customer
- Strategy deployment, use of KPIs and Visual Performance Management
- Developing meeting structure to improve communication and ensure problem solving
- Implementing management and shop floor work teams
- Teach people how to respect each other
- Learn to see losses
- Problem solve issues in project teams and work teams
- 5S work place organisation
- Leader Standard Work
