5-Reasons Why 80% of Lean Manufacturing
Initiatives Fail to Meet Expectations

Reason No. 1 is lack of understanding, commitment, and participation for the company's lean transformation.

Solution No. 1:  Unless all employees participating in the lean transformation are convinced that the lean manufacturing initiatives are important to individual and company success, lean transformation will not meet expectations.

Reason No. 2 is not enough planning.

Solution No. 2:  It's not an "add water and stir" initiative. You can't just decide one day to become lean and think it will happen overnight. You need to determine what constraints are impeding your ability to increase speed, improve quality, and eliminate non-value-added activities.

Reason No. 4 would be failure to establish goals and expectations, track daily/weekly progress and carry out corrective actions if and when required.
