Title: Sustaining a Lean Transformation in a Complex Supply Chain Operation
Date/Time: Thursday, Nov. 17, 2 p.m. Eastern time
Presenters: Jennifer M. Kozak, Michael Testani, Sreekanth Ramakrishnan
Summary: Lean and lean Six Sigma business transformation initiatives have become a business imperative for many organizations in almost every industry sector. While many companies are attempting to implement lean methodologies; the vast majority fail to meet their business transformation objectives and/or fail to sustain their business transformation gains. Research has shown that the most common reasons that these efforts fail to achieve or sustain their improvement results are 1) the lack of leadership support, and 2) the lack of focus on the organizational culture. The webinar describes the path forward to a lean transformation methodology that focuses on developing critical organizational competencies around organizational culture transformation and lean process improvement resulting in a more effective and sustainable transformation effort.
