simple matrix given below.
• Note: Matrix will need to be included in paper.
• Evaluate how your selected organization’s (your
own or one you have chosen) vision supports Lean.
If the organization’s vision does not support Lean,
re-write it yourself so that it does, and describe

organization may face in implementing the
identified lean enterprise improvements. For
example,
examine your DMAIC assignment in Week 3 where
you improved a process. What are the barriers to
implementing these changes?
• Recommend how your selected organization may
resolve resistance to change or overcoming
change.

10. • Explain how management can help organizations
facilitate change with empowerment and getting
everyone involved.
