Most LEAN programs fail to sustain and achieve long-term results – sound familiar? The simple answer has to do with little to no focus on implementing the complete LEAN Business System. And in order to implement this, your program must have a balanced approach with three (3) core elements: 1) the Mechanical Tools; 2) the Management System; and 3) Human Aspects.
Most program efforts only focus on the Mechanical Tools, because they are relatively straight-forward and you can quickly see evidence of tangible results…
Come learn about the other elements, and why their interdependence on one another will allow your program to truly achieve your long-term desired results!
