Are
you searching for lean manufacturing implementation
assistance that's guaranteed to help you and your
company reach your full growth and earning potentials?
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. You need to have a plan for lean implementation success. 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.
The second reason is poor preparation. Even with the best plan, successful implementation will be evasive if there is not a genuine leadership commitment and appropriate team training/coaching and empowerment.
And third would be failure to establish expectations and track daily/weekly progress. Determining performance metrics and establishing Key Performance Indicators (KPI) to track current vs. future performance against improvement targets is paramount to achieving positive, sustainable lean initiative results
"Best-in-class companies tackle Lean by mastering the basics."
I realize the
word "BASICS " is not very sexy. But it is a very
important thing for you to understand.
Many years ago Vince Lombardi led the Green Bay Packers football
team to unprecedented success by having an almost obsessive
focus on doing the BASICS very well.
It’s
amazing how many individuals have great visions
yet fail to achieve their full growth and earning potentials.
They 're a lot like the Green Bay Packers' football players before
the arrival of Vince Lombardi... all the potential in the world
but with no focus on executing the basics of their business and profession.
The fact is, business
basics... the things that serve as a solid foundation for
growing and enduring success have not changed since before I was born...
and won't change after you're dust.
It's tempting to think
that they do... that the introduction of change initiatives like
Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Customer Relations Management, (CRM)
and Six Sigma can change the basics.
I understand the
temptation.
I can only caution
against it.
Identifying and mastering the BASICS of lean
manufacturing will establish the foundation
needed to successfully implement and optimize the change initiatives of
today and tomorrow.
Best of all, your work will become fun again.
