Fertile Ground for Lean

How do we feed the soil for growth?• Does the Lean spirit exist from the top down?• Does the company have Business Policy Deployment?• Does cooperation between departments exist?• Are roles and responsibilities clear?• Are employees valued for their works?• Are systems improved over time to become more stable and

predictable?• How are problems kept from recurring?• Do managers, supervisors and team leads have the ability to teach

or coach?• Do management often go to shop-floor to practice “Gemba Walk”?

Shingo as our directional guide

Page 23: Robert Bruce - Driving Enterprise Excellence

Acknowledging reality vs. Shingo

• Seeing reality with humility • 15 Areas of opportunity

Page 24: Robert Bruce - Driving Enterprise Excellence

Shingo can’t be just about “The Prize”

• An enduring and truly world class vision point for sustaining growth and achieving success

• Shingo painted a picture of the type of company we all wanted to work for

• The “most rigorous assessment in the world” for a reason….hard to achieve because it’s worth achieving

• Not like any other assessment“If it was just about the

prize, that alone, wouldn’t be enough to sustain the

effort..”

Page 25: Robert Bruce - Driving Enterprise Excellence

Triple landmark achievement

• First Australasian Plant

• First Print Company Globally

• Youngest Plant Ever

Page 26: Robert Bruce - Driving Enterprise Excellence

My greatest joy is seeing the team succeed

Page 27: Robert Bruce - Driving Enterprise Excellence

Our challenge today..

• Australia is a high labour cost country

• Saturated yet relatively small local market

• Reduction in revenues• Global pressures and the need to

work smarter• ….familiar story?• The Lean journey has just begun….

Can Lean really evolve & transcend from

Automotive into a Print setting?
