It's Time To Get Lean and Then Get Leaner

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.

Why Do Most Lean Initiatives Fail to Meet Expectations?

The first reason for a lean initiative failure is not enough planning. 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. There is no magic wand. You need to determine what constraints are impeding your ability to increase speed, improve quality, and eliminate non-value-added activities. And, finally you need to develop a plan for identifying and eliminating their root causes. We can help... check out our Manufacturing Assessment and Lean Improvement Plan.

The second reason for failure is a lack of understanding and commitment. Before any real progress can be achieved in a lean transformation, managers and team leaders must understand, accept, and commit to the lean initiative. Without this understanding and commitment, the level of support will come up short of requirements and the program will not meet expectations.
To accomplish this challenge, many of our customers have used our Lean Manufacturing Simulation Game-Plus to help transform MRP supporters into LEAN-MRP advocates and champions.

The third reason is poor preparation. Even with the best plan and committed management, successful implementation will be elusive if there is not sufficient team training and empowerment. We can help... check out our: Lean Manufacturing Training Program,

And fourth would be the failure to establish expectations, track daily/weekly progress, and initiate corrective actions as required. Determining motivational performance metrics and establishing Key Performance Indicators (KPI) to track performance is paramount to achieving positive, sustainable, lean initiative results. We can help... check out our Performance Management Program. It's based on the Balanced Scorecard.
