Change Management

Effective Lean Enterprises are highly successful at turning knowledge into action. There has to be timely and productive application of the Lean methods that are learned. To do this, an organization also has to address its culturally stimulated wastes and change the behaviors and attitudes that create these wastes.

To that end, successful Lean companies grow their in-house resources for Lean leadership, change management, coaching and implementation. By investing in these skills for their Lean Leaders, management ensures fast and effective Lean implementation as well as sustainable bottom line gains.

KAIZEN Lean Office

Our workshop helps participants define and understand the different types of work in an Office and assists in distinguishing between internal and external customers. One of the important aspects of KAIZEN Lean is the focus on ‘system-level’ improvements (versus ‘point improvements’). Within this system level of thinking, Office work and shop floor work often converge. Work in either the office or on the shop floor can have significant impact to the customer. This knowledge, combined with the understanding of how to remove waste properly, is critical for any successful KAIZEN Lean implementation.

Common KAIZEN Lean improvement tools and techniques will be identified and the class will discuss how best to apply these techniques from a KAIZEN Lean system perspective. The common mistake companies make by focusing on ‘point’ improvements versus ‘system’ improvement will be studied - ‘point’ improvements creating ‘exciting chaos’ and ‘system’ improvement creating dramatic bottom line improvements as well as cultural transformations.

Different types of Waste will be defined from a KAIZEN Lean point of view. The class will brainstorm, identify and classify the different types of waste that they see within their own work environments. The root causes of Waste will be examined and successful methods used to eliminate it will be discussed. A group simulation will demonstrate the power of one-piece flow (vs. batch production).
