About Lean Enterprise
What is "Lean"?
The Lean Enterprise concept is all about understanding how to leverage world-class strategies for planning, execution, and performance measurement in order to thrive and grow your business in your chosen marketplace.
Lean Enterprise is about gaining improvement through the elimination of waste and variation in all phases of your business process. While Lean techniques have been used in manufacturing for over forty years, overall performance in many companies has barely changed. What is the reason? Many firms have used Lean as a management technique. It is not. Lean is a revolutionary methodology which adds value to every step of your business process.
How can Lean help your organization?
There is no “one size fits all” when it comes to building a Lean Enterprise. Lean is very different in how it is applied to different industries and business types. The one thing all entities have in common? Lean can work for them.
From process or discrete manufacturing firms…to health care…to not-for-profit organizations…to governmental agencies—anywhere there are processes, Lean can be used to eliminate process waste and variation. Costs get lower, processes become faster and more reliable, and more money makes it to the bottom line.
Lean is primarily a growth strategy that allows businesses to take and deliver more sales and use resources more effectively without incrementally adding cost. It can help teams stay focused on improving their work environment and making their jobs easier and more effective. Lean can also be used to assist companies who have been affected by economic downswings but still have to get the work done with limited resources.
Lean is only successfully implemented by the people who do the work. Management’s new challenge is to create ownership and buy-in to the Lean improvement strategy and engage their people in the implementation process.
