THE LEAN ASSESSMENT HAS THREE OBJECTIVES:
1. To enable a company to take inventory of what Lean Enterprise best practices
are currently utilized on their shop floor and in their office and to identify
how prevalent these practices are found throughout the company.
2. To provide the company with an awareness of the Lean Enterprise
best practices that are on the shop floor or in the office, but
are not prevalently applied and, hence, should be considered
for implementation.
3. To identify management’s knowledge of Lean and their
willingness to implement and support a program within their company.
TOPICS COVERED IN THE LEAN ASSESSMENT:
• Prior to delivery of the Lean Assessment we will provide a Lean Executive
Overview to the participants in order to have a clear understanding of the benefits
and the potential power of Lean Enterprise.
• The Lean Assessment consists of ten categories that describe the best
practices that constitute the attributes of a Lean Enterprise. Prior to conducting
the assessment, to identify opportunities for improvement, we ask each participant
to complete a Lean/Flow enterprise self-assessment of their current operation.
The categories include:
- Communication and Cultural Awareness
- Visual Systems (5S) and Workplace Organization
- Standard Work
- Continual Improvement
- Operational Flexibility
- Mistake Proofing/Poka-Yoke
- SMED/Quick Changeover
- Total Productive Maintenance (TPM)
