Objectives and Content

Lean principles and practices have been around for about two decades and even some well-known Japanese methods, mostly originally from Toyota, have been available since a longer time. However, many companies misinterpreted lean as a set of tools and methods. Hence failed. Later on an integration of those lean tools with guiding principles made many companies to create their own “production system”.

Yet, many faced that achieving sustainable and consistent improved process and results was not that easy and ultimately experienced a fading out in their “journey”. Then, what is missing? What has been overlooked? The answer to these questions is the invisible part of lean, the leadership and management, the social interactions within the organization at the different levels and functions and how people are developed to gain skills and proper behavior for a sustainable continuous improvement process.
