Lean Kaizen is a management philosophy quite different from the traditional; indeed it is not just
a philosophy but a complete way of life. To understand this, is to understand the vital role of
waste elimination in manufacturing as well as service. Adding value, by eliminating the
process waste is the name of the game.
A Paradigm Shift is a must. Lean thinking provides this alternate. Many tenets of traditional
manufacturing get turned on their heads. These include operational issues such as, top-down
hierarchy works best, dependence on individuals not the system, increased quality means
increase in cost, large batch sizes are economical, resources need scant respect, intuition driven
production scheduling techniques, shop-floor layout is unimportant, building excess inventory is
in order, training is a waste of time and so on.
Lean thinking brings about several changes in the current management paradigms of most
organizations. Emphasis is placed on specifying value from the customers point of view i.e.:
making available to him that which he wants, when he wants it, in the quantity he wants & lastly
at the price he is willing to pay.
We would be playing three roles in Lean Implementation:
Our first role would be that of a Team Member. We would work together with the team
deployed at the Gemba (the Real Workplace) to effect changes in Real terms.
Secondly we would play the role of being the Coach to the Project team. As a Coach, we
would be providing guidelines, training, assistance and moral support.
And lastly we would play the role of a Guru. Guru is different from a Coach. In literal
terms a guru is the dispeller of darkness.
