Lean is about building and improving stable and predictable systems
and processes to deliver to customers high-quality
products/services on time by engaging everyone in the organization.
Combined with this, organizations need to create an environment of
respect for people and continuous learning. It's all about people.
People create the product or service, drive innovation, and create
systems and processes, and with leadership buy-in and
accountability to ensure sustainment with this philosophy,
employees will be committed to the organization as they learn and
grow personally and professionally. Lean is a term that describes a
way of thinking about and managing companies as an enterprise.
Becoming Lean requires the following: the continual pursuit to
identify and eliminate waste; the establishment of efficient flow
of both information and process; and an unwavering top-level
commitment. The concept of continuous improvement applies to any
process in any industry. Based on the contents of The Lean
Practitioners Field Book, the purpose of this series is to show, in
detail, how any process can be improved utilizing a combination of
tasks and people tools and introduces the BASICS Lean (R) concept.
The books are designed for all levels of Lean practitioners and
introduces proven tools for analysis and implementation that go
beyond the traditional point kaizen event. Each book can be used as
a stand-alone volume or used in combination with other titles based
on specific needs. Each book is chock-full of case studies and
stories from the authors' own experiences in training organizations
that have started or are continuing their Lean journey of
continuous improvement. Contents include valuable lessons learned
and each chapter concludes with questions pertaining to the focus
of the chapter. Numerous photographs enrich and illustrate specific
tools used in Lean methodology. Sustaining Lean: Creating a Culture
of Continuous Improvement focuses on standard work audits,
training, Lean Practitioner certification, Hoshin planning, Lean
Leadership, and how to run effective meetings. The authors discuss
the cultural transformation which must occur to create a Lean
culture by understanding what the components are in this culture.
The importance of training and the value of the person are also
discussed, as is what it takes to be a Lean leader.
