Sequences in the implementation of lean production

Article Abstract:

A long-term study of the implementation of lean production principles by one company gave insight into whether these principles should be introduced sequentially or in parallel. The study indicated that management should first devote resources to implementing three principles in parallel. These principles are the structural changes to the organization, the implementation of core principles to eliminate waste, and the introduction of core principle support systems. Managers should move on to implementing a continuous improvement system once this foundation is established.
