Part 1


• For someone who is new to lean in the business world, what are some areas where lean practices can most commonly be found and what sort of marginal benefits can be seen as results?

• I'm new to lean. Where do I fit in as a sales manager for a manufacturing company?

• What are the first foundational steps needed to begin a lean journey?

• Though helpful and beneficial, does a company really need a lean experienced expert or consultant to go lean? What is the criteria to justify bringing in a lean consultant?


Part 2


• What are the biggest difficulties for people in understanding lean? How do you get past the challenge of people viewing lean as ‘just something else they have to do in addition to their work’ instead of viewing it as a better way to do their work?

• My role is strictly to support lean throughout the company, but managers at different levels do not seem to be fully engaged in this methodology - even after years of exposure. What do you suggest for ‘making’ managers and executives ‘buy’ into it instead of creating excuses for implementation?


Part 3


• What is the best way to roll out lean to multiple facilities?

• What are some of the best practices in organizing/conducting Kaizen events? I am trying to implement ‘mini Kaizen’ events for lower level problems. The objective is to engage the organization in lean implementation by addressing smaller problems.

• How can I implement lean in my daily work?


Part 4


• Our organization began [lean] in operations. Since then, we have had multiple pockets of success and failure. The organization would like to deploy continuous improvement company-wide. What is the best way to sustainably roll out continuous improvement - while minimizing the impact and pockets of failure?

• How can we measure productivity in shipping? We are currently measuring the # of lines shipped as a metric for efficiency.

• What advanced lean courses are available for seasoned lean leaders?


Part 5


• How can I deploy lean in a retail business?

• Why do you feel the warehouse/logistics industry lags so far behind manufacturing regarding the practice of lean process improvement methods?

• Can you please outline how you would approach applying lean to improve warehouse operations? Looking for major steps/phases and tools to employ in each phase. Are these concepts/phases/tools covered in the book, Building a Lean Fulfillment Stream?

• What top three suggestions would you have for a small, high-mix, low-volume machine shop? How do we go about implementing lean when we have very little repeat work?
