Part 5 - Ten steps to enable lean manufacturing into your business =========================== Here are TEN easy tips of how to enable LM in your organization: 1. KEEP THE CHANNELS OF COMMUNICATION OPEN Talk and inform often Educate and empower, knowledge, skill, practice and competence, on-going mastery and teaching others Trust, honesty and information = transparency Give everyone a head start, a common language, goal and purpose and unleash the power of lean on your organization. 2. GIVE OPPORTUNITY FOR EVERYONE FOR INPUT AND FEEDBACK Get everyone engaged, excited and hands-on, involved and aboard with your LM initiative and plans Introduce feedback and coaching, establishing communication channels where before they might have been none 3. CREATE AND CULTIVATE THE RIGHT WORKING CONTEXT AND ENVIRONEMENT WHERE HONESTY IS ALWAYS THE BEST POLICY! Set communication and information sharing, learning and openness (transparency) as an organizational priority Less people will feel threatened and insecure about speaking up, hiding errors for fear of embarrassment or consequences (like being held accountable or losing their jobs or face in front of others) Treat each other with respect and share ideas, issues openly, always keeping in mind the overall benefit (or detriment) for all if closer attention are paid to certain issues or challenges at hand. 4. TAKE NOTICE, REWARD, ENCOURAGE AND CELEBRATE! Select examples of great achievement with LM, samples, project studies, specifics, general, share and celebrate them all-round. Give credit and recognition to the team where it is due, even for accomplishments that made a great difference for the company, a specific area or problem that was solved. It is highly motivational and quite an incentive for many to keep trying and even do more! 5. Implement a system and metrics and monitor process BUT ALSO PROGRESS!!
