Taking Lean to the Enterprise
•
1 like•3,506 views
The document discusses applying lean principles from GM's Global Manufacturing System (GMS) throughout the entire enterprise, including non-manufacturing functions. It outlines how GMS was expanded to offices by using value stream mapping to visualize office processes. The document also discusses standardizing the approach to GMS projects across functions, providing examples of projects in different functions like design, engineering, and finance. Leaders are encouraged to get personally involved in GMS projects to see the benefits and help integrate the process more fully.

And Office Lean was that the fact that the processes were not as visible • Introduced Value Stream Mapping as a “tool” within the GMS Toolbox that would make the office processes visual • Used GMS language throughout and retained the notion of increasing value while while we worked to eliminate waste. • Identified 6 GMS elements as “foundational” to implementing lean principles in the office.
