People and Culture
The people and the culture of a company form the foundations of all Lean transformations. If you cannot get all levels of the organisation mobilised and efficiently organised, the chances of real success are nil.
Lean Business France firmly places the emphasis on working with the people - directors, middle managers, and shop floor or office workers - of an organisation to build a successful transformation. We support you in the development of your people through :
- providing classroom and, more importantly, workplace-based training in the use of Lean principles and methods
- accompanying groups and individuals in the appropriation and implementation of new ways of working. We cannot do the implementation in your place, but we can ensure that you learn and adopt the basics of how to, work with you during the implementation, and leave you with the skills to ensure that the improvements you make carry on long after our contribution has ended,
- helping you build the project or programme infrastructure and change processes necessary to accompany any form of major improvement activities.
We will also support your managers and workforce in using the tools and methods available to develop a Lean 'culture'. These will include visual controls, standard work, daily planning, and in general changing the way an operation or service is managed.
