Lean practices can be everywhere -- from the factory floor to every link in the supply chain -- but they don't amount to much if the executives and managers aren't supporting the theories and practices. Learning how to become a true Lean leader, driving Lean beyond your four walls and throughout your enterprise, will mean the difference between operating a mediocre manufacturing company and a world-class facility.
But being a leader who embraces Lean is no easy task. Traditional ways of thinking about business -- such as a focus on short-term pressures and financial results -- don't work well with Lean. For an organization to have Lean success, everyone needs to think differently, including both managers and executives.
Whether you're a black belt or a VP, a quality manager or a CEO, this discussion illustrates how a Lean-friendly managerial style can have a far-reaching impact on your entire organization.
You also learn why manufacturing companies must embrace Lean as a philosophy that goes beyond the factory floor, and encompasses the processes of suppliers, customers, logistics providers, and other partners. Learn how technology can help enable Lean business processes throughout the internal and external value chain, and the front and back office.
While it seems easy on paper, putting these Lean lessons in practice can be difficult. I this archived event, you hear a real world example of how one manufacturer was able to successfully undergo a true Lean transformation
