Lean Manufacturing Traininig

The Lean Benchmark Report

A while back, the Aberdeen Group, published their “Lean Benchmark Report.” Of close to 300 manufacturers that participate in this study, 90% reported that they are committed to Lean. However, further analysis found that less than 20% of these companies can be considered best-in-class.

Below you will find the 5-reasons why lean initiatives fail to meet expectation and a few lean manufacturing training options that are helping individuals and companies eliminate them. Invest some minutes of your time and check out the reasons and their solutions.

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

Reason No. 1 is not enough planning.

Solution No. 1: 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. And, finally your tactical plan needs to be developed based on value stream mapping and gap analysis.

Reason No. 2 is lack of understanding and support for the company's lean initiative.

Solution No. 2: Unless all employees participating in the lean transformation are convinced that their commitment and efforts are important to its success, improvements will not meet expectations.
