Fat Results for Lean Implementation
Details: Getting FAT results from lean implementation—it sounds Atkins-approved. The truth is, like any successful diet, results can be improved by focusing on the person involved in the program. In lean initiatives, focusing on the people pieces helps organizations solve the lean puzzle. The results can be FAT - Financially triangulated results that come at an Accelerated pace, and are Translatable consistently across other parts of the organization. To achieve FAT results, we must first understand the lean landscape, lean management practices, and the performance system that drives project team behavior.
Takeaways: Most lean programs don’t capitalize on the benefits of managing processes proactively and forego the steep gains that can be achieved by managing human performance. Both people and processes should be managed with a structured, rational approach that includes both reactive and proactive management. By creating a performance system that encourages people to succeed, the lean journey moves into a new territory of significant, sustainable results. We will share survey results of Lean experiences and results from the organizations during the presentation.
