Lean Transformation is a change….a radical and far-reaching change….from a traditional functional-based organization to a lean enterprise.  Lean Transformation must be led, it cannot be managed!

The Lean Transformation itself starts with the 5 Lean Principles:

  1. Customer Value
  2. Mapping the Flow of Value
  3. Flow
  4. Pull
  5. Seek Perfection

Next is the Value Stream Mapping.  Once your Value Streams are mapped and you have a Future State Value Stream Map, you can begin the Lean Transformation itself.

A Lean Transformation is a continuous journey…..not a “program of the month/year”.  Principle #5 provides a hint….”seek perfection” is something never-ending.

Learning Objectives:

  1. Describe their own future state lean vision based on the 5 Lean Principles
