Lean Manufacturing Implementation Steps



Establish the need for change

Assess your company

  • define product groupings and current processes
  • specify value
  • identify the value stream (current and future state map)

Educate at all levels

Support the learning of the lean tools and methods

Implement the lean tools and methods

  • organize the workplace (5S)
  • improve plant layout for flow manufacturing
  • reduce lot sizes, setup times, lead times and inventory
  • develop a pull system
  • standardize operations
  • improve quality
  • improve maintenance

Modify the organization structure: everybody’s job is going to change, people from the shop floor to the top floor will work differently and in departments that are structured differently

Establish improvement metrics

Seek perfection
