Key questions guide and focus the approach:
- Where are we?
- What can be improved?
- What actions should be taken to address gaps in desired performance?
- What approaches are required to achieve a lean foundation, and ongoing improvement?
To answer these questions and drive improvements specific tools are selected and applied to develop an initial current state assessment of the operation / processes, with an understanding of current performance, capability, and initiatives underway. Opportunities are identified for reducing waste and improving productivity and quality. Action plans are developed and integrated to build a lean foundation and support the implementation strategy. During implementation the focus shifts to delivering results by leveraging standard work concepts and continuous improvement.
