The success of a lean transformation hinges on the company’s response to these questions: What are our critical needs? How do we focus our resources? How do we involve and motivate our team members? How do we sustain the improvements we make?
Truly lean companies drive continuous improvement by making standardized processes and measurable outcomes a routine part of the business. Their leaders are visible throughout the transformation and validate their involvement with continuous communications. They develop and follow a Lean Deployment Plan to ensure that the actions taken will be sustained.
Lean Deployment Planning aligns functions and activities with the company’s strategic goals. It provides a support structure for follow-up using Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) methodology.
Working with IMEC
IMEC will facilitate a two-day discussion with your company executives and key managers involving interactive exercises to understand the process of Lean Deployment. Your company’s Vision and Strategies will be shared with the facilitators in advance so they can be incorporated into the customized exercises. You will learn how to focus and align your activities, how to involve all levels of the organization, and how to apply PDCA to consistently achieve results.
The discussion includes:
• Preparing for Lean transformation
• Understanding alignment and business impact
• Identifying balanced objectives and success measures
• Creating an organizational structure to support implementation
• Prioritizing activities
• Communicating the Lean goals
Additional Support
At the conclusion of the two-day facilitation, your company will have the option of working further with IMEC to support your development of:
• Aligned high-level Lean strategies and measures
• Initial Implementation Plan
• The foundation for a Communication Plan and Training Plan |
