The Applied Lean transformation must be a scientific, step-by-step, managed project. For most manufacturers, the current operating system will be significantly modified. This conversion must be done systematically until the new Lean operating system it is in place. In addition, the roles and responsibilities of key members of the organization will require a transition to the new operating system while day-to-day procedures and some policies must be changed to support the Lean operating system. Whenever Mfg. Matters undertakes an engagement at a client site, it uses this 6-step project tracking chart as a guideline for completing the steps of a Lean business transformation. Tasks are listed for each of the two transformation teams (process and materials) in chronological order of completion to assure that the foundation is in place before continuing to the next step. To help with resource planning, the project tracking chart also estimates of the hours required to complete each of the steps. This project tracking chart will help you keep your project on schedule with as few distractions, and wasted effort as possible.
In addition to the project tracking chart, this package also includes The Mfg. Matters Applied Lean Manufacturing Implementation Guide. It is over 100 pages of information describing the methods for designing a Lean manufacturing line. In addition, it contains colorful illustrations, line balancing formulas, and useful templates you need for your Lean business transformation. Use this implementation guide as a working reference document to help manage your Lean transformation project. Used in conjunction with the project tracking chart, you will have the information you need to organize, manage, and track your Lean implementation.
