The Precursors to Lean Not Handled Well
The Precursors to Lean Not Handled WellThe story of the ABC Widgets Co. is an example of a company that wanted to look Lean more than they wanted to be Lean. Internal conflicts, along with too few onsite resources, created a large resistance to becoming Lean. In spite of these deficiencies, we assisted them in making large improvements. However, they are an example of “How Not to Implement Lean,” in that after four years into their Lean initiative, basic and large foundational problems still persisted. They are a story of the “Precursors to Lean … not handled well.”
