If you have analyzed your business plan and decided that it is best to move ahead and implement a lean strategy focused on addressing issues within your enterprise, then it is expected that you properly research the pertinent concepts and educate yourself extensively on the subject matter. When you move to discuss the matter with staff members and which ever relevant committees you’ve included in the conversation thus far, you’ll need to have decided on the proper focus and be able to succinctly explain it. Most importantly, you must approach lean manufacturing with a cohesive team mindset and shared goal. If you and your team do not share aligning viewpoints and thoroughly understand the pertinent lean manufacturing concepts, then you’ll swiftly meet with discouragement, setbacks and, likely, failure.
After establishing that the senior management is on the same page as you regarding your shared vision, you’ll logically move to brainstorm your first lean-oriented project. The specific project you end up selecting and move to implement will depend highly on your specific needs--although in terms of pilot programs, there are certainly specific steps and stages you’ll want to focus on. What is of supreme importance at this point in time is that you, along with the senior staff, effectively communicate your intentions to the workforce so that you can gather feedback on the relevant lean manufacturing strategies. In doing so you’ll be able to effectively work with your team to implement the strategy best suited to the goalposts you set on the path to becoming a lean enterprise.
