Implementation Challenges
When Lean Management principles are successfully applied, companies can achieve previously unthought-of improvements in profitability, production output and employee performance.
Unfortunately, well over 50% of current lean initiatives fail to deliver the intended results. Some even leave the companies in an inferior state after the improvement activities are implemented.
There are many individual reasons for failure. However, when looking at them in detail, they can all be sorted into three categories.
-
Insufficient Strategic Orientation and Top Management Involvement
-
Insufficient Cultural Change and Unresolved People Issues
-
Insufficient Deployment Methods and Individual Incompetency
Clearly, the challenge lies with the implementation and making the improved processes sustainable. At ACTLean, we have years of experience to help you overcome these challenges.
