Lean Manufacturing Transformation
The transformation from traditional manufacturing to Lean is one of the easiest concepts to comprehend. So why are more companies failing adopt Lean and realize the success and sustainability of Toyota? The answer sounds simple but is actually extremely complex when it comes to application. IT'S ‘s HARD WORK! It's rare to find a company anywhere in the world these days that hasn't at least heard of Lean and most are attempting aspects in some form or another. However, the companies that can claim success approaching Toyota are still few and far in-between.
The reason behind this are many:
- Failure of company Leadership to change their behavior along with the behaviors they are expecting of their factories
- Years of cultural behavior at all levels that focus on the self and not on the goal of the company
- Integration or Suppliers as partners
- Developing a learning and self-reinventing culture
- Focus on the next quarter and not the long term objective
However, one of the biggest factors is the failure of companies to develop a transformation plan that is carefully thought out and phased in such a way as to ensure significant financial success, corporate health and market growth while improving the livelihood of the entire organization. Instead they cherry pick the elements of Lean that they think will work in their operations and have limited success at great expense.
