Why are Lean Transformations so difficult to implement and sustain? Despite the abundance of training, books, articles, workshops, podcasts, and on-site consulting, most lean transformations fail to deliver the expected results. Whether they struggle to launch or gradually lose momentum, the failure rate is estimated to be over 90%. Just think of the time and resources invested in transformations that ultimately fall short.
Join us as we explore how to approach transformation differently—and more simply—by integrating both the technical and social (people-focused) aspects needed for lasting success.
In most manufacturing operations, value is created on the shop floor, where materials, direct labor, and machines or equipment come together.
Through this discussion, we’ll examine how to build a sustainable lean transformation process by:
- Understanding the core concepts of determining value, creating value, and eliminating waste—and why they matter.
- Viewing transformation as a balance of technical processes and social engagement—what’s often missing in most transformations.
- Identifying five critical steps to kick-start a sustainable lean transformation and begin your roadmap for developing people.
