Simplifying Lean Manufacturing - Part 2

 

Well, many times, even when the concepts are simple, it needs perfect implementation in order to achieve a successful method in any organization. It is commonly noticed that the majority of lean transformations fail and thus it is essential to implement and execute the method accurately, ely.

In fact, many times manufacturers don’t realize the moment wherein they need to implement the lean methodology in their business strategy. Identifying the moment wherein the organization needs to adopt the method is one of the crucial aspects of the entire process. Also, a realistic approach is highly important as the process needs dedication from top management which sometimes becomes challenging. Thus, proceeding with a realistic approach helps in avoiding any failure in the future.

The unwavering top management support plays a significant role in the successful implementation of lean methodology in the system. The top management should inspire and lead with an example. An understanding of one’s challenges is like walking half of the path and an urge to improve continuously helps in the process of achieving desired goals.

I would focus on the 14 steps of the Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) cycle for implementation of lean methodology in the manufacturing sector which will surely help any organization to overcome their challenges and find success.

 

Apart from this, the key ingredient for successful transformation is the discipline which I would say is the champion of the process, the willingness to embrace change, and leading by example.

The other parameter for companies to ensure the successful implementation of the process is to consider a bottom - to - up approach rather than top – to - down as it helps in bringing the vision to reality. In a competitive world, it is essential to be focused and determined as opposed to many who in the real business world isn’t sure about their vision, they are distracted which causes more than ever to fail. The organization needs to identify issues affecting the bottom level and communication needs to be passed from bottom to top management which will resolve issues swiftly.
