Many companies have viewed lean as a specific toolkit to lean out processes and improve performance. Those companies are usually disappointed when they find the tools do not sustain themselves and after the early low handing fruit gains are hard to come by. The Toyota Way is a total system of philosophy, processes, people, and problem solving. A long-term philosophy
provides the framework for developing people who continuously improve processes using disciplined problem solving methods. Most of the lean tools serve to highlight problems. This seminar will not teach any specific tools, but rather focus on lean as a system teaching the way of thinking, giving examples from manufacturing and non-manufacturing, and discussing the role of leadership and cultural change.
