Continuous improvement has been traditionally seen as activities “owned” by production and manufacturing disciplines. 

But the truth is, continuous improvement must start with a deep understanding from the top executives and be passed through the entire organization.  Lean is not a function, it is a state of mind. 

Training & building a lean culture

How is lean incorporated into your HR reviews and employee’s goals?

How engaged is leadership in sustaining the initiatives? 

Connecting to leadership vision

Prioritize cost-efficiency programs to align with KPI’s

Building dashboards that represent Lean activities across the business as a system

Production and “traditional” lean best practices

• How are you tracking improvements in labor efficiency and OEE?

• Who is engaged to identify and uncover line efficiencies and streamline manufacturing operations?

• Are personnel and operators enabled, recognized and rewarded to “own the process”?
