Transforming Businesses to Become Leaner

Becoming more competitive with High Speed, Low Cost & Less Waste

In order to ward off increasing competition, organizations must become leaner by increasing their speed, reducing costs and providing better quality products and services. To achieve this, their workforce must learn to work faster and smarter. Waste in the form of unnecessary processes, redundant information, delays, service breakdowns, incorrect prioritization and marginal workforce performance are to be relentlessly eliminated.

Quality should be designed into the process upfront and decisions made at the lowest possible levels so as to respond rapidly to customer demands. ‘Walls’ between departments should be torn down. Extensive communications about the company’s vision and goals should occur. Building a participating workforce and the embracing of a continuous improvement culture is crucial.

Many companies that have adopted the lean management (aka lean manufacturing) approach have dramatically changed their businesses, made them leaner, and gained long-term sustained advantage over their competitors. In the last 2-3 years the lean approach has been deployed with much success by organizations from many different industry sectors including manufacturing, health-care, finance, construction, publishing, government, information and communications and many others.

The Soft and Hard Elements of the Lean Management (aka. Lean Manufacturing)

The ‘soft’ (or people related) elements of a major change effort which takes the form of exceptional management commitment, the build-up of a sufficient coalition for change within the middle management ranks, the creation of a sufficient sense of urgency throughout the organization, the high level of communications to the workforce concerning the need for change and the establishment of a heightened sense of awareness in the workforce concerning progress against goals is very key to successful lean transformation. The ‘hard’ elements of the change effort referring to the techniques, tools and practices of lean management while also important can only be fully leveraged once the buy-in for change has been firmly established in the organization.

Through our Lean Management and Lean Manufacturing Programs, we assist clients to apply lean concepts, principles and tools in their businesses and help them drive a high-level change project to transform these businesses into fast, agile and cost-efficient companies.
