LeanThere is waste everywhere and no system for removing it.
Take the waste out, then write down the standard so it stays out.
How it works
Lean, on the real screen
Lean goes wrong when the waste walk is an event rather than a habit. The eight wastes get logged against the process step they belong to, 5S gets scored rather than eyeballed, and each improvement is tracked with a before and after. Then standard work is written down, because an improvement nobody documented is one that leaves with the person who made it.

Other problems
The other five
- Value & ROIWe cannot show what the improvement work returned.
- Continuous ImprovementIdeas come in and nothing happens to them.
- QualityDefects reach the customer and we find out late.
- Process OptimizationThe process is slow and nobody agrees on why.
- Operational ExcellenceImprovement happens in pockets and never becomes how we work.
