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
