• What are the biggest difficulties for people in
understanding lean? How do you get past the
challenge of people viewing lean as ‘just something
else they have to do in addition to their work’
instead of viewing it as a better way to do their
work?
• My role is strictly to support lean throughout the
company, but managers at different levels do not
seem to be fully engaged in this methodology -
even after years of exposure. What do you suggest
for ‘making’ managers and executives ‘buy’ into it
instead of creating excuses for implementation?

failure. The organization would like to deploy

• How can we measure productivity in shipping? We are
currently measuring the # of lines shipped as a metric

• Why do you feel the warehouse/logistics industry lags so far
behind manufacturing regarding the practice of lean process
improvement methods?

mix, low-volume machine shop? How do we go about
