Lean Business for all...hmmm....now what is this about? Well, just like it sounds, I am an avid believer that "Lean" can be used to improve any and all businesses. Especially yours. What do you need as a business leader to embark on the Lean journey? All you need is an open mind, and fortitude enough to do something different.
There are all sorts of resources available for your particular Lean journey no matter what your product or service may be. I will spend a fair amount of time talking about them along the way. From experience I can say that only a few things are needed to get Lean rolling in your business:
- recognition that change is needed.
- commitment to improvement.
Getting those two factors in place is what this blog is about as much as anything else. I love the old Chinese(?) proverb " A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step" it nicely captures my feeling about Lean and business. This blog is here to help along the (endless) road to lean "perfection" by creating discussions about: common issues, solutions, news, government policy, productivity, healthcare, use of Lean tools, books, educational materials and anything else that strikes me as worthy. My hope is to engage and encourage as many as possible to join the journey to better profits, more customer satisfaction and a more satisfying workplace. Are you ready for the first step?
